1. Sounds like piquerism

Some sexual sadists have a specific fetish for stabbing, sometimes thought to originate in impotence or feelings of powerlessness. The fact that all the victims are of one gender is what makes me think this. The most famous example of this fetishism was the London Monster, who in the 18th century stabbed women while saying horrible sexual things to them. Also the fact that they were stabbed in the same place.
