I suppose this scenario is actually somewhat reassuring, because the guy who killed 12 people deserves whatever misfortune falls upon him. You wouldn't have to feel bad stealing his knowledge and memories, and could also go to the local guards to turn him in with the knowledge you've obtained.
Though good luck sleeping at night with the knowledge of what it felt like to murder 12 people with your own hands and see the life fade from their eyes.
There's an interesting philosophical debate there. What good does imprison a guy who have no recollection of doing the crime, or the circumstances around them? Can be argued that the person who committed the crime and this guy finding the bodies are two different people who share the same body.
I think there was a book about this. Someone had a multiple lifetime sentence, so they kept cloning him to put him in jail.
