The only "Satanic killings" I have ever heard of, later turned out to be fantastical inventions of a justice system gone wild.
Where I grew up in Saskatchewan, there was a famous case where daycare operators were accused of child abuse, and satanic worship, including sacrificing and eating babies under a full moon.
The accusations and trials destroyed the community, spread fear and hate, and turned out to be completely baseless.

Yeah, Puritans still exist, and they are still on witch hunts. Then as is now, they are fighting only the shadows of their own invention.
I didn't say all the accusations of satanic abuse were true. Most are fabrications, But see Adolfo Constanza:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Adolfo_Constanzo
Over the next few years he became the leader of a full-fledged religion with drug dealers, musicians and even police officers under his command. The religion, based in Matamoros, Tamaulipas, on the U.S.-Mexico border, sold drugs, held high-priced religious ceremonies, and by 1987 at the latest, murdered people for use in human sacrifices. These victims fell along with the religion's rivals in dealing drugs.
When a US citizen tourist, 21-year-old Mark J. Kilroy, disappeared in Matamoros during Spring Break 1989, local police, facing pressures from Texas authorities, began to search in earnest for him. They discovered Constanzo's religion quite by accident (in an unrelated drug investigation) and, after arresting some of the members, quickly discovered that they were responsible for the murder of Kilroy. Officials said Kilroy was killed by Constanzo with a machete chop to the back of the neck when he tried to escape about 12 hours after being taken to the ranch. The suspects said a number of the victims were dismembered and burned. .[1]
and Richard Ramirez

Or in the muddle ages consider Elizabeth Bathory, the most prolific female serial killer in history.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Elizabeth_Báthory
After her husband's death, she and four collaborators were accused of torturing and killing hundreds of girls, with one source attributing to them over 650 victims, though the number for which they were convicted was 80.[1] Elizabeth herself was neither tried nor convicted. In 1610, however, she was imprisoned in the Csejte Castle, now in Slovakia and known as Čachtice, where she remained bricked in a set of rooms until her death four years later.
Later writings about the case have led to legendary accounts of the Countess bathing in the blood of virgins in order to retain her youth and subsequently also to comparisons with Vlad III the Impaler of Wallachia, on whom the fictional Count Dracula is partly based, and to modern nicknames of the Blood Countess and Countess Dracula.
Not all accusations are fabrications.
