Murderer Wade Wilson's female followers have sent him over a hundred 'x-rated pictures' in prison.

Known as the 'Deadpool killer' for having the same name as the character in the film, he is responsible for murders of two women in Florida, US, in 2019.

The 30-year-old with a Nazi tattoo on his face was sentenced to death on Tuesday (27 August).

He was found guilty of strangling Kristine Melton, 35, to death and then strangling and running over Diane Ruiz, 43, with his car that same day.

Wilson fatally strangled Melton in her Cape Coral home before stealing her car.

The killer then used her phone to call his girlfriend Melissa Montanez, 41, who he later assaulted.

After Montanez refused to get in the car, Wilson met Ruiz who asked him for directions. He invited her into the car and didn't let her out.

Subsequently, he strangled her and then threw her out of the vehicle and ran her over. The court heard that Wilson said he 'ran her over until she looked like spaghetti'.

“I choked her out until she couldn’t breathe anymore,” Wilson told cops. “I came across my mind to murder, just kill, kill, kill.”

"The evidence shows the murders were heinous, atrocious and cruel. and that the second murder was cold, calculated and premeditated," Circuit Judge Nicholas Thompson said.

“This case was about killing for the sake of the killing,” Assistant State Attorney Andreas Gardiner previously told the court.

“Strangulation is the epitome of life slipping through someone’s hands.”

10 out of the 12 jurors subsequently voted for Wilson to receive the death penalty.

Meanwhile, the 30-year-old has received nearly 4,000 messages in prison, including x-rated photos.

Public records stated that authorities had to reject 163 'inappropriate' images.

According to WINK, one woman from Visalia, California, wrote in: “As someone who cares unconditionally for Wade, I have deeply reflected on the gravity of the situation and impact of your decision.”

Another woman, who is a mother of two, added: “If you look past his tattoos to his face structure since being in prison and medicated he is healthier, his face is fuller compared to his booking picture where his face is gaunt, pale and he looks unhealthy.”

Wilson was tried and found guilty of six charges: two counts of first-degree murder; first-degree murder; grand theft; battery; burglary; petty theft.

The killer is now being held at the Lee County Jail in Fort Myers, Florida.

Once some more unrelated charges are resolved, he'll be transferred into the Florida prison system and moved to death row at Union Correctional Institution.
