About Frank Gust
- Frank Gust (born May 24, 1969 in Oberhausen) is a German serial killer.
- He has been dubbed Rhein-Ruhr-Ripper by the media, because his actions, mainly committed in the Rhine-Ruhr region in western Germany, share similarities with London's Jack the Ripper murders. Gust is classified as a sexual sadist.

- He experienced lust by torturing, killing and gutting animals.
- At age 13 he broke into morgues to act out his necrophiliac inclinations.
