Infamous serial killer Jeffrey Dahmer ended up being brutally beaten to death by a fellow inmate - and his final words were pretty haunting.

Dahmer, who also known as the 'Milwaukee Cannibal', murdered at least 17 men and boys from 1978 to 1991.

He would drug and sexually assault his victims before killing them. Dahmer also admitted to cannibalising some of their body parts.

The serial killer was eventually convicted in 1992, having been sentenced to 16 terms of life imprisonment, and would later go on to meet his brutal end while in prison.

Christopher Scarver killed Dahmer by beating him to death while the two were housed at Columbia Correctional Facility in 1994.

Speaking to The New York Post in 2015, Scarver described what Dahmer was like in prison.

"He would put them in places where people would be." he said. “He crossed the line with some people - prisoners, prison staff. Some people who are in prison are repentant, but he was not one of them."

He continued to say: “I saw heated interactions between [Dahmer] and other prisoners from time to time," adding: “There was no impression."

Scarver initially had no intention of approaching Dahmer as he didn't want to be the target of his horrific style of humor.

However, on November 28, 1994, Scarver, Dahmer and fellow inmate Jesse Anderson were tasked to clean the gymnasium in the prison, when there were no guards present.

Scarver would go on to claim that one of the pair poked him in the back to antagonize him, however, he said he 'couldn't tell which had done it' - and that’s when he took a 20-inch metal bar off a piece of exercise equipment and cornered Dahmer.

Pulling out a newspaper clipping from his pocket, Scarver confronted him about his crimes.

He said: “I asked him if he did those things ’cause I was fiercely disgusted.

“He was shocked. Yes, he was… He started looking for the door pretty quick. I blocked him.”

A then-25-year-old Scarver beat 34-year-old Dahmer over the head twice with the bar and smashed his head against the wall.

According to The Mirror, before dying, Dahmer reportedly said: “I don’t care if I live or die. Go ahead and kill me.”

Scarver then went towards Anderson, who was working in a locker room.

He said: "He stopped for a second and looked around.

“He was looking to see if any officials were there. There were none. Pretty much the same thing [happened] – got his head put out.”

Scarver later received two additional life sentences for their murders, as well as his original life sentence for murdering someone from his workplace.
