The man who killed Jeffrey Dahmer has claimed that the prison guards had deliberately placed him in a position to take the serial killer's life.

Christopher Scarver, now 53, beat the notorious serial killer to death in November 1994 - a little over two years after Dahmer was sentenced to sixteen terms of life imprisonment.

Dahmer, also known as the Milwaukee Monster, has been trending on social media ever since Netflix dropped a 10-part series on his life and slayings titled Monster: The Jeffrey Dahmer Story.

In addition to this, the man who murdered the infamous serial killer has also been making waves in the limelight as his 2015 interview with the New York Post resurfaced online.

In the interview, Scarver explained how much he loathed the killer, and, has claimed that he was purposefully put in Dahmer's path by the prison's guards so that he would have the opportunity to take his life.

The Milwaukee serial killer was left alone in a room with Scarver and another inmate, Jesse Anderson, as they cleaned the prison bathrooms. Scarver then revealed that one of them allegedly poked him in the back which rattled him.

"I turned around, and [Dahmer] and Jesse were kind of laughing under their breath," Scarver said. "I looked right into their eyes, and I couldn't tell which had done it."

When the three separated, Scarver then followed Dahmer and pulled a newspaper article about his crimes to confront him and see whether it was true.

"He started looking for the door pretty quick. I blocked him," Scarver recounted. "He ended up dead. I put his head down."

After clobbering Dahmer with a 20-inch, 5-pound metal bar, the man went on to kill 37-year-old Anderson by walking to the locker room where he had gone on to work.

"He stopped for a second and looked around. He was looking to see if any officials were there. There were none. Pretty much the same thing [happened] - got his head put out," he explained.

Years later, Scarver reflected on the killings and said that he is certain that the guards allowed it to happen by leaving him alone with the inmates.

"They had something to do with what took place. Yes," he revealed but explained that he could not elaborate out of fear of his own safety.

"I would need a good attorney to ensure there would not be any retaliation by Wisconsin officials or to get me out of any type of retaliatory position they would put me in," he added.

However, an investigation following the murder of the monstrous serial killer determined that Scarver acted alone. He was sentenced to two life terms on top of the life sentence he was already serving.

Initially, Scarver was locked up for murdering his former work supervisor from his job-training program at the Wisconsin Conservation Corps in 1990.

After getting fired by his employer, Scarver started drinking heavily and returned to his former workplace with a .25-caliber semiautomatic pistol and demanded money from former boss Steven Lohman.

When Lohman only gave him $15, Scarver put a bullet in his head and then shot him two more times. Hours later, he was arrested by police officers while he was sitting on the porch of his girlfriend’s apartment building.

He is currently serving three life sentences in Colorado.
