Apparently, to be called a serial killer, you have to kill 3 people in a 30 day period.
Saw it on telly recently.
Its absurd, that they have put a timescale/quota on something like that.

That's the Wiki "traditional" definition. It's not entirely accurate though. In fact, if you read that article further, you will see it was coined in the 70s. Forensics has come a long way since then, which means that a lot of serial killers are now leaving it longer between kills so that the links are harder to define. The original serial killers, as per that definition, were more like binge killers. Serial killers can go for months and years between kills.
p.s. - I am a lot happier these days.
