The Ephemeral 'Stoneman': A Legacy of Suspense and Uncertainty The "Stoneman" killings, a series of brutal murders that shook Kolkata and Mumbai in the late 1980s and early 1990s, have become an enduring enigma in Indian true crime history.
Thirteen people, mostly pavement dwellers, were killed with heavy stones or concrete slabs to their heads, leaving behind a trail of unanswered questions.
The similarities between these crimes are striking, yet investigators never found conclusive evidence linking all 13 deaths to a single individual or multiple individuals working together.
