Johann "Jack" Unterweger (16 August 1950 – 29 June 1994) was an Austrian serial killer who murdered prostitutes in several countries. First convicted of a 1974 murder, he was released in 1990 due in part to a campaign by intellectuals and politicians, who regarded Unterweger as an example of rehabilitation. He became a journalist and minor celebrity, but within months started killing again. He committed suicide following a conviction for several murders.

Born in 1950 to Theresia Unterwege, a Viennese barmaid and waitress, and an unknown American soldier who she met in Trieste. Some sources describe his mother as a prostitute. His mother was jailed for fraud while pregnant but was released and travelled to Graz where he was born. In 1953, his mother was again arrested and Jack was sent to Carinthia in southern Austria to live with his grandfather who he described as a violent alcoholic.

He was in and out of prison during his youth for petty crimes, and for assaulting a local prostitute. Between 1966 and 1975 he was convicted 16 times, mostly for sexual assault and spent most of those 9 years in jail. In 1974, Unterweger murdered 18-year-old German Margaret Schäfer by strangling her with her own bra, and in 1976 was arrested and sentenced to life in prison, with no parole for 15 years. While in prison, Unterweger became an author of short stories, poems, plays, and an autobiography, Fegefeuer – eine Reise ins Zuchthaus (Purgatory - a trip to prison), which was adapted into a motion picture. In 1985, a campaign to pardon Jack and release him from prison was started, but President Kirchschlager refused stating he must spend the minimum of 15 years in prison The campaign gathered momentum among Austrian intellectuals, including the author and 2004 Nobel Prize winner Elfriede Jelinek, and he was released on 23 May 1990, after the required 15 years of his life term. Upon his release, Unterweger hosted television programs which discussed criminal rehabilitation.

Sir John Leake (4 July 1656 – 21 August 1720) was an English Admiral in the Royal Navy and a politician who sat in the House of Commons from 1708 to 1715.

Leake was born at Rotherhithe, the second son of Richard Leake, Master Gunner of England.

During the War of the Grand Alliance, he fought at Bantry Bay (1689), Beachy Head (1690) and La Hogue (1692).

Soon after the War of the Spanish Succession was declared, Leake was appointed captain of HMS Exeter and sailed from Plymouth, 22 July 1702, with eight ships to Newfoundland, to attack the French fishing harbours and their ships at sea. In this expedition 51 ships were taken or destroyed. Of these, 16 were brought to England, 6 were sent to Lisbon, 5 were sold at St. John's, one was left there for the security of the harbour, and one other sent to France with the prisoners. The remaining 22 were burnt. He also had destroyed all French settlements at Newfoundland. Upon his return to England, Leake was made Rear-Admiral and offered a knighthood, which he declined.
