Daniel Gonzalez (21 June 1980 – 9 August 2007), also known as the Freddy Krueger Killer and the Mummy's Boy Killer, was a British spree killer who murdered four people and injured two others during two days across London and Sussex in September 2004. Gonzalez was inspired by horror films such as A Nightmare on Elm Street and Friday the 13th to become a "famous serial killer".
He went on a drug-fuelled stabbing spree, attacking the elderly and infirm, writing about his experiences in letters to himself as "Zippy", his past nickname.
His letters said how much he enjoyed the murders "...one of the best things I've done in my life", and how similar he was to the character Freddy Krueger. Gonzalez's mother had previously written a letter to her MP criticising the fact that a serious incident had to occur before he could receive mental help.
In her letter, she rhetorically asked "...does my son have to commit murder to get help?" He was jailed for life in 2006 and committed suicide in a mental hospital the following year.
