Jaroslav Stodola and Dana Stodolová
czech-Slovak serial killers
Jaroslav Stodola (born 8 May 1966) and Dana Stodolová (née Bábiková; born 19 July 1970) are a pair of Czech-Slovak serial killers who robbed and murdered 8 retirees between 2001 and 2002. In total, they were convicted of committing 17 serious crimes and both sentenced to life imprisonment.
Lives before the murders
Dana Bábiková was born in Slovakia, where she married at the age of 15. A year later, a daughter was born. Due to marital issues, she soon divorced and moved to the Czech Republic, where she married a second time. She and her second husband travelled to Canada, where she worked as a bar dancer. In 1997, she was raped by a fellow employee and suffered from psychological trauma and then began to heavily abuse drugs. Due to this, her second marriage also ended in divorce. She then moved to her mother's house in Slavošov in the Kutná Hora District, in house number 31, where she married the four times court-sentenced Jaroslav Stodola, whom she met in 1998. He came from a troubled family, and in his youth, he ran away from his home and soon became self-sufficient.

The citation trail is more important than the brevity of the summary: it shows where individual claims can be examined in context. The source revision retrieved here is dated Feb 7, 2026. The linked authority identifier is Q15290702. None of the 0 selected statements returned an explicit reference. The first chronological checks are 1966, 1970, 2001 and 2002.
A concise general-reference account can conceal disagreements about scope, terminology or the weight assigned to individual sources. The source lead contains qualifying language; that uncertainty should survive quotation, summary and reuse. Authority statements aid reconciliation but still require their own references, qualifiers and ranks to be checked.
