He killed 3 people before being imprisoned, and in prison he hammered, pun intended, 2 of his cell-mates to death because he viewed the both of them to be a weaker being than he was & God wouldn't like it if they had continued living).

But yes, I agree with u saying majority of serial killers are driven by violent sexual desires. Jeffrey Dahmer & Ted Bundy comes to mind. And here in Indonesia, we also have a serial killer called Rian The Mutilator on a death row. He killed and severed the body parts of 11 people (including a kid & a pregnant woman) for mostly sexual (and financial) reasons.

Albert Fish puts all those guys to shame. He was like the living incarnation of a fairy tale monster made flesh (old man eats little girls, etc.). Certainly my "favorite" serial killer of all time.
