| Description | Wanted Nazi war criminal Dr Aribert Heim, thought until recently by some to be still alive, died in Cairo in 1992 after converting to Islam. Heim spent nearly 30 years in Cairo, having become a Muslim in the early 1980s and assumed the name Tarek Farid Hussein.
Heim, nicknamed "Dr Death" for killing hundreds of inmates at Mauthausen concentration camp in Austria with injections of toxins to the heart, has been missing since evading West German police in 1962 as they prepared to prosecute him.
An Austrian doctor with Adolf Hitler's infamous SS, Heim is said to have removed organs from victims without anesthetic. He kept the skull of a man he decapitated as a paperweight. |
