Kampatimar Shankariya (1952 – 16 May 1979) was an Indian serial killer.
Shankariya was born in Jaipur, Rajasthan in 1952 and arrested at the age of 26.[1][2] He confessed that he had killed at least 70 people in 1977–1978[3]Template:Unreliable source? for pleasure. He killed his victims by hitting them with a hammer on the neck below the ears, which gained him the moniker Kanpatimar (Template:Literally). He was convicted in early 1979 and was hanged at Jaipur on 16 May 1979.[1][2][4][5][6] He repented, and his last words before being hanged were: "I have murdered in vain. Nobody should become like me."[1][2]
