Toro Ammag

1987 mugshot, age 47

**Toro Ammag** (22. Bintar 1939 - 10. Rankul 2008) also known as the **Mouron Slayer** was a Cyad serial killer, rapist and burglar. He was responsible for 15 random killings in Jiahen City between 1966 and 1985, most of which were committed towards younger women. In addition, Toro was found guilty of some 50 rapes in Jiahen City.

Unidentified until 1987, Toro was known as the Mouron Slayer, due to the first murder taking place on Mouron Street in Jiahen City. He was sentenced to life imprisonment in 1990, and died in prison in 2008 from an unidentified cancer.

Toro became a media icon for fringe subcultures, and there have been made several books and documentaries about his life and crimes.

## Early life

Toro Ammag was born on the 22nd of Bintar 1939, in Jiahen City, Qeelsia, to Eyvas Ammag and Yur Kop. His father, Eyvas, was a member of DM19 during the Livian War. He had an older sister. Toro was raised Javun, but his family was mostly non-religious.

Born shortly before the start of the Livian War, he and his sister was raised by his mother, while his father was fighting with DM19. His father was injuried in 1941, and returned home to rest. He fought again shortly in 1945, attending the Battle of Qeelsia City during victory. Toro would claim in his 1994 biography that his father's stories of war created in him a fascination with death.

Toro attended Cyad Boys School of Jiahen City in 1947, starting the first class after the Livian War. Toro was a quiet and polite student, but did poorly in school. In 1948, he was diagnosed with Yeqew syndrome, and was subsequently removed from schooling.

## Kaza study tour

Unhappy with menial work and wanting to be educated despite his mental illness, Toro applied for a scholarship in Kaza, which was accepted. In 1959, at age 20, he took a train to Brokaki, the capital of Kaza with money he had saved up from working for his father. Not much in known about his visit to Kaza, but it is assumed he lost his virginity there, and possibly that he committed his first murder there in 1960, although this is unconfirmed. Toro returned in 1963, four years after, with an education in metal and woodworking from the Worker's School of Brokaki. He moved into a small apartment in Jiahen City and got a job at a local workshop.

## First murder

On the 21st of Bintar 1966, one day before his 27th birthday, Toro packed a bag with rope and a knife. He went into the city at night, and supposedly hid behind some dumpsters. Toro encountered the 23 year old student **Sori Wipano Qeelsia**. He pulled her into an alleyway, where he choked and stabbed her for a few minutes. He tried dissecting the body, but failed to remove any parts. He placed the body into a nearby dumpster and fled the scene.

## Arrest

Toro was arrested in 1985 by the Saudu Police Force. This was due to an extensive investigation by Police Chief Gahaunu Wely, who was present at the arrest. SPF officers entered Toro's apartment at 3:20 AM. Following the arrest, officers found items associated with the murders, including jewlery, wallets and glasses belonging to victims.

Toro was originally suspected of the murder of Sori Wipano Qeelsia in 1967, but was not pursued due to a lack of evidence. In 1983, following the murder of Hesyin Daiakur, a friend of Toro contacted police, claiming Toro had admited to murder to him in 1980, and that he suspected him of the killing. Toro was interviewed in his home, but provided an alabi.

Police were again contacted about Toro from a friend of his. This friend, later identified as Shas Magur, claimed that Toro had shown him a small collection of gold rings. He recognized one of them, a custom gold and silver ring with a butterfly on it belonging to Inik Lirapur, from a wanted poster. When he asked Toro where he got them from, he replied that he "got them from some lovely ladies." This testimony, combined with the fact that Toro had been identified as a suspect previously was enough to arrest him and search his home.

Following the arrest, Gahaunu was awarded the Ai title by Avya Yunavin Qeelsia, an honorific title usually given to military and government officials, officially making them and their family nobility.

## Life in prison

Following a brief trail in which Toro pleaded guilty to all counts, he was incarcerated in 1987 at Qeelsia Maximum, sentenced to life in prison with possibility of parole. No members of the Ammag family ever visited Toro in prison.

### Relationship with Gahaunu Wely

Gahaunu Wely, who lead the investigation of Toro's crimes became a frequent visitor. Toro and Gahaunu spent many hours together, talking about the case, their lives, and how to prevent future serial killers. Gahaunu told a reporter in 1987:

> *It's amazing how much humanity can exist in someone guilty of such inhumane acts. I regard Toro, today, as I would any of my acquaintances.*
>
>

Gahaunu and Toro would usually meet in Toro's isolated cell in Qeelsia Maximum, where they would share coffee and cake. The relationship continued until Gahaunu died in 1997. Toro wrote a letter to Gahaunu, which was placed in his coffin.

### Romantic relationships

Within the first year of prison, he had recieved over 100 pieces of mail, several from younger women. He married one of these women, Inuh Ankah, in 1989. They divorced in 1991. In 1994, Toro co-published a book about his crimes with journalist Sunavan Koyo. In the book, Toro gave his own account of the crimes, his motives, his childhood and his sexual disturbances. Toro claims in the book that he wanted to commit suicide after every rape and murder, but was "too much of a coward."

Toro married the then 21 year old Tuneku Ciadanwer in 1997. As he was not allowed conjugal visits, he and Tuneku attempted to smuggle his semen out of prison in order to impregnate her in 1998. When they were caught, Toro told prison officials that he wanted to impregnate Tuneku because he hoped it would better his chances of probation or early release if he had a child to care for. Tuneku filed for divorce in 2001.

Toro was moved to ADC Livia in 2004 following the Qeelsia Maximum riot, as inmates had attempted to enter his isolated cell. During the riots, it was revealed that Toro had created a number of improvised weapons, which he prepared in case rioters entered his cell. Qeelsia Maximum warden Baya Rorkeyshivin claims Toro originally made these weapons as a part of an elaborate future escape plan. Due to this, Toro was placed in a constant surveillance cell at ADC Livia.

Toro died in 2008 from cancer. The specific type of cancer was never identified.
