Also, It is true alchemic teaching that the alchemists himself, cannot die by either WATER or FIRE, if he does he can NEVER obtain the GIFTS of the STONE.
This leaves only one option for an alchemist if he is playing out a literal RITUALISATION of ALCHEMY- he needs a VICTIM TO DROWN , BURN OR ELECTROCUTE.
The metal to gold aspects of alchemy, were only a cover employed after alchemy was ruled illegal - gold is symbolic anyway.
The use of male blood , semen and other parts of the male human body was the true fascination of alchemists.
This was because true alchemy taught that the prima materia was the place the stone resided, and this prima materia was believied by the alchemists to be within MAN.
Pleasen clarify what you are suggesting. If you are suggesting that Alchemists killed people for their art, then you are wrong. If you believe that the killers, assuming there is a group of killers, are using Alchemy as a symbol or method to kill, then please state so.
It's chemicals! Alchemists didn't kill people. They sat around tinkering with chemicals trying to turn metals into gold and to find the "philosopher's stone", the magic substance that will turn things into gold and to bestow immortality. Alchemy was the precursor to modern Chemistry. Even Sir Isaac Newton was an in-the-closet Alchemists. Practicaly nobody is into it today because it's rather pointless. (Unlike Astrology which has survived into modern times.)
