Alez

Alez was a Pole who killed eight people and wounded three others in Olsztyn, Poland on December 1, 1798, before being killed.

Background
Since Tarrare death in 1798, huge medical attempts to discover what caused the man unusual behaviour were made, testing some animals and persons on it. There was a similiar case in 1798. Alez, who lived in Poland, had a unusual eating behaviour. However, he spent most of his time into abandoned places, which probably helped the persons to not notice a strange man living around them.

During the morning of March 9 Alez was discovered by a soldier, while he was eating an brick. The soldier drew a pistol and aimed the gun to Alez, however Alez scream caught the attention of the passerbys nearby. Thinking he was a monster, the residents grabbed Alez and began beating him until the police arrived and controlled the situation. Alez urgently requested foods, but was refused, Alez managed to escape from the police to eat an cat and was captured when eating the cat alive, the officers were impressed with Alez and sent him to an hospital on the same day, where he lived on it until December 1798.

On the hospital Alez was involved in minor incidents, such as eating trash bins, cats, and sometimes paintings. Comparisons between Tarrare with Alez were made, profissionals attempted to cure his eating behaviour by giving him some laxatives and sedatives. Following the failures, the profissionals studied him until March 31, where they concluded that he was suffering from the same disease as Tarrare.

Murders
On December 1 Alez began his murder spree when he eating the door which was locked, there he runned to a room where babies were sleeping, eating four of the babies, injuring a fifth, some doctors tried to subdue him, but were unsucessful, while a doctor who attempted to stop Alez had some of his fingers eaten. The doctor later died as a result of the injury. Running to the other room, Alez was eating the door, which did not immediately broke, after six seconds attempting to eat the door, the doctors called a militia, which showed minutes after. When he totally eat the door, he intruded the room and eat three babies from the feet to the head, a doctor tried to fought Alez, but was scalped by the mouth of Alez.

When the militia showed up, Alez, depsite eating seven babies, was starving and attempted to escape through several doors, some of them being completely empty. In an attempt to fight the militiamen, he managed to climb on a wall and walked on it for one second, and jumped on the head of a officer, fracturing his skull, where he was shot dead by the other men helping the officer.
