Quote:
In 1997, German citizens Ernst Dieter Korzen and Stefan Michael Mahn kidnapped two prostitutes and recorded their torture. Their second victim managed to escape and the two men were sentenced to life imprisonment. Prosecutors involved in the case claimed there is an international market for such videos and that Korzen and Mahn had made the video with the intention of selling it. Korzen and Mahn thus became the first persons ever convicted for the making of a snuff movie, although their video was never commercialized.[11][12]
In July 2007, a video made its way on to the internet in which Viktor Sayenko and Igor Suprunyuck, better known as the Dnepropetrovsk maniacs, filmed the torture and murder of 45-year-old Sergei Yatzenko, a recently disabled Ukrainian citizen.
In December 2009 footage of the Maguindanao massacre in the Phillippines leaked in pirated DVD stalls.

On top of that how many murderers and rapists have recorded their crimes? I'm sure more than one real snuff film has made their rounds in this world. What really qualifies as a snuff film anyways? Does it need to be a commercial endeavour? Either way, I'm sure those exist somewhere too...
