So, our region had three incidents of murders with body dismemberments; which has been rare. There was a little girl, a mother, and a drug dealer. Anyways, it seems to me as if a demon with this enjoyment was making its presence known. Then I started thinking that dismemberment is common; abortions do this. So, in contemplating this, would a demon grow stronger with each dismemberment?
 
I’m not sure about the individual demon, since they are in reality nothing more than tools used by the Evil One to further his plans. I doubt they would grow stronger individually.

However I would think that the Evil One does grow stronger wuth these actions as his will is being done throughout the wold.

In Judaism, there is the belief (not part of doctrine) that angels are created every time one does a good deed. So there might be something to the creation of demons in response to evil deeds as well, or, as you say, fortifying existing demons.
 
A rather fascinating concept. This merits further thinking perhaps.
 
Genesis 4:1-4 And after that men began to be multiplied upon the earth, and daughters were born to them, 2 The sons of God seeing the daughters of men, that they were fair, took to themselves wives of all which they chose. 3 …] 4 Now giants were upon the earth in those days. For after the sons of God went in to the daughters of men, and they brought forth children, these are the mighty men of old, men of renown.

‎"But the angels transgressed this appointment, and were captivated by love of women, and begat children who are those that are called demons…" - St Justin Martyr (AD 100 - AD 165), Second Apology, Ch 5

“These angels, then, who have fallen from heaven, and haunt the air and the earth, and are no longer able to rise to heavenly things, and the souls of the giants, which are the demons who wander about the world, perform actions similar, the one (that is, the demons) to the natures they have received, the other (that is, the angels) to the appetites they have indulged.” - St Athenagoras of Athens (AD 133 – AD 190), A Plea for the Christians, Ch 25
