The tattoos on convicted killer Wade Wilson, who shares the same name as the Marvel character Deadpool, link him to a Florida prison gang. Wilson, dubbed the Cape Coral Strangler and Deadpool Killer, mercilessly attacked two victims during a violent crime spree in October 2019. His victims were 35-year-old Kristine Melton and 43-year-old Diane Ruiz.
Now a convicted killer facing the death penalty, Wade Wilson’s tattoos link him to a notorious prison gang. The white supremacy gang is called Unforgiven. Wilson has a set of tattoos on his face, neck, and hands and has recently garnered the attention of several women for the same. These tattoos include two swastikas—one on his right scalp and the other under his right eye. Moreover, he got special permission to wear makeup in court during the trial to ensure he could cover the swastika tattoos.
Convicted killer Wade Wilson’s tattoos explained
According to the U.S. Sun, killer Wade Wilson only had tattoos up to his chin when authorities first arrested him in 2019. One of them under his chin said, “Bred for war” in bold. However, in the subsequent court appearances, Wilson showed up with nearly his entire face covered in tattoos. These included two swastikas on his face and the right side of his head. This particular tattoo symbolizes hate, white supremacy, and anti-Semitism. The symbol is commonly associated with Adolf Hitler, reported News Press. Wilson’s other tattoos include the word glory written above his eyebrow. Another is the phrase “HA HA HA” under his left eye.
In June, a Florida jury found killer Wade Wilson guilty of two counts of murder for violently strangling two victims. The Independent stated that prosecutors argued he murdered victims Kristine Melton and Diane Ruiz on October 7, 2019. While there was no clear motive, Wilson called his father after committing the crimes and confessed to him in detail. The killer’s father, Steven Testasecca, testified in court that while confessing, his son claimed that “he was excited.” He also added that Wilson wanted to make Ruiz “look like spaghetti” while running her over in his car, per WBBH News.
