Non American Serial Killers
 

I've got some Star Trek marathon running in the background.In this episode Spock mentions serial killings in China and USSR.

We all know the names of the "famous" American serial killers and usually get all the details of what they did.

If you're not in the states, what serial killers are part of your country's history?

Hitler?? Stalin??

Nah...while they did fuck shit up for sure. I wouldn't consider them "serial killers".

non American - Jack The Ripper?

Charles Manson

Where was Manson from?

Russia had one in the 80s, his nickname is Citizen-X and his real name was Andrei Chikatilo. There is a movie about him called Citizen X.

Harold Shipman
Myra Hindly

LOTS of people think that Jack the Ripper was American.

The guy they believe this to be is buried in my backyard :winkwink:

Andrei Chikatilo - Citizen X

Andrei Chikatilo, one of the worst serial killers, who murdered up to 53 young girls and boys in Russia starting in 1982 and ending in 1990, when he was captured.

Lyubov Biryuk was his first victim. She was murdered on June 1982 on her way to the market. Her body was found later that year in october, it contained a numerous amount of stab wounds, most to the breasts and she was also stabbed in the eye sockets.

The Russian investigation teams technology was archaic in nature, so it made it more difficult to catch killers. They didn?t publicise the kills, fearing panic and embarrassment. The men in charge of the investigation were Viktor Burakov and Colonel Fetisov.

Three more victims were found stabbed many times and they also had knife wounds in the eye sockets.

Burakov and Fetisov, meanwhile were linking the cases showing that the killer started with girls, but added young boys to his list of victims.

The tenth victim was found on January 4th 1983.

Burakov and Fetisov thought that the killer lured his victims at the train station in town. The stations were then monitored by plain-clothes detectives, looking for any suspicious behaviour or anyone talking to young boys or girls.

The killer began mutilating the genitals of his victims. On girls he would gouge the breasts, and destroy the vagina, uterus and bladder or abdomen. On boys, he would mutilate the penis, scrotum and anus.

Chikatilo was discovered in the train station trying to pick up children. Plain-clothes detectives picked him up and took him to the police station. In searching his bag they found vaseline, rope, dirty towels and a kitchen knife. His blood was typed, and it revealed that he had A blood. The killer was determined to have AB blood, from tests done on semen samples found on the victims. Chikatilo was then released.

A profile of the killer was done by Dr. Bukhanovsky, a leading Russian psychologist. He called the killer Citizen X and concluded that X was not a homosexual and possibly had a wife and children. He called the killer a necrosadist, and by mutilating his victims was some form of dominance.

Years later Burakov remembered Andrei Chikatilo, and how he was their main suspect. Burakov contacted Chikatilos work boss and found out he was off on the days of the murders. Andrei was searched and there was a cut on his finger, and his genitals had abrasions on them. Andrei denied to how it happened, but when his bag was searched his kitchen knife was found.

Bukhanovsky questioned Chikatilo and he confessed to the murders. Chikatilo told how he got sexual gratification from murdering and mutilation, and he also told of cannibalism. Chikatilo admitted to at least 53 murders and also led police to some undiscovered victims.

The reason for the blood type discrepancy still hasn?t been found out. Some say it was a rare blood disorder, where the blood and semen have different types.

Chikatilos reasons for gouging at his victims eyes was that he believed that the victims eyes kept an image of the killer in them after death.

Chikatilo was found legally sane and sentenced to die for the 53 deaths. He was executed by a gunshot to the head in 1994.

Go back

I believe Andrej Chikatilo of Ukraine was tried and executed for having killed over 50 people.

EDIT: Damn, took me too long to submit the post, I'm slow today. I guess lack of sleep will do that to you. :(

We have our nuts up here too.

Robert Pinkton was a pig farmer who killed over 60 prostitues and burried them on his farm - this was recent.

Paul Bernardo and Karla Homolka, husband and wife team. They raped and killed several young girls together, including HER SISTER.

They made a Law and Order about it.


Those are our most famous cases of the past decade or so. :helpme

The scary thing about Bernardo and Homolka, they don't really look crazy.

Sure some creepy pig farmer, I mean you'd EXPECT him to have at least a couple dead hookers burried on his farm. You wouldn't expect this couple to have the girl's sister in a tourture chamber in their basement.

Macdonald from Australia wasnt too bad.

kinda dumb, got himself caught by going back to hometown but pulled a good job.

I'm somewhat familiar with both of these.

Wasn't the Pig Farmer feeding the bodies to his pigs?

I'm not sure, wouldn't surprise me. Look at the bastard.

Citizen X is a great film...

The Monster of the Andes, Pedro Lopez, reportedly murdered more than 300 young girls. :(

Just looked him up quick. He lived one fucked up life for sure.

don't forget Ian Brady..she didn't do things alone.

Fred & Rose West belong on the list too but Shipman is the cold, scary one.

Wow...236 murders over 24 years. Quite prolific.

yeah and add to it that he was their doctor and be basicly put old ladies to sleep..as a vet would a dog. He is dead too...not many cried except the families that don't know if their loved one was a victim or not.

Yeah. That is fucked up beyond all belief.

Read a book about Andrei Chikatilo - pretty fucked up shit. He was kept in a cage during the trial. As somebody said, he lived in Ukraine, not in Russia.
