John Martin (born John Martin Scripps, 9 December 1959 – 19 April 1996) was a British spree killer who murdered three tourists—Gerard Lowe in Singapore, and Sheila and Darin Damude in Thailand—with another three unconfirmed victims. He posed as a tourist himself when committing the murders, for which British tabloids nickname him "the tourist from Hell". He cut up all his victims` bodies, using butchery skills he acquired in prison, before disposing of them.
