Research looking into the likelihood people could become notorious killers based on their zodiac sign ignores one simple fact - those crimes were not predicted by the stars and the only thing linking them is their wickedness

IS MURDER really written in the stars?

If you read your daily horoscope, you're probably hoping for guidance on your relationship (or lack thereof), career or that elusive lottery win but I bet nobody looks at their star sign and thinks "I'm a potential serial killer".

Fans of astrology believe the stars can predict wealth and fortune but research has also suggested your zodiac sign could be an indication of something far more sinister.

Using the birth data of 120 of the world's most notorious serial killers, UpCounsel.com commissioned research to determine if there could be a correlation between star signs and a murderous disposition.

So which signs puts the horror into horoscope and who is the most murderous according to star gazers? I'm looking at you Sagittarius.

Apparently from the 120 chosen killers, 11 centaurs are the most dangerous.

French serial killer Yvann Keller, nicknamed the Pillow Killer (he smothered his victims in their sleep), is a Sagi with an estimated 150 victims.
