There was one serial killer called the chessboard killer who tried to kill 64 people (because of the number of squares on the board). I think he killed like 48 people before he got arrested

@Nimzo-IndianaJones is a Top Blogger here and he has a blog about that guy I think.
Here's a list of crimes to start with...... https://www.chessable.com/discussion/thread/188179/crime-criminals-and-chess/
Raymond Weinstein was an IM, not a GM. But he was definitely on the path to being a GM, until schizophrenia struck. And he didn't murder his mom, he killed his roommate in the halfway house where he was living after already suffering a breakdown. He was found incapable to stand trial and has been confined to a mental institution for the last 60 years
Almost:
In 2005, GM Vladimir Akopian was arrested at Dubai airport having been mistaken for an individual of the same name wanted by Interpol for murder.
