Biography
John Linley Frazier was born in Ohio on 20 January 1946. He was a religious fanatic who spent days with his Bible and believed the voice of God was telling him to commit homicides.
On October 19, 1970, he murdered the ophthalmologist Victor Ohta and his wife, two sons, and secretary in a delusional fit, believing he was an agent of God. Before killing the two children, Frazier questioned their killing and, once again, heard this voice saying to kill everyone and burn the house down.
Four days later he was arrested, and he was sentenced to death on November 29, 1970. However, In 1972 the death penalty was abolished in California; his sentence was commuted to life imprisonment.
On the first day of the trial, he appeared in court with a new look representing the two sides of a hippie. One side had long hair and a long beard and the other side was totally bald with no beard. He later shaved his head completely.
Death
In mid-2009, Frazier hanged himself in Mule Creek State Prison in Ione, California.
