Who is Andrei Chikatilo?

Andrei Chikatilo was a soviet serial killer, who admitted killing a total of 56 people in Soviet Russia during the 70s and 80s before finally getting executed in 1994.  He was born in Ukraine on October 16, 1936. In December 1978, Andrei committed his first murder and his victim was an adolescent girl.  He would meet his following victims at bus stops or train stations and lure them into nearby abandoned places or forests, and rape them. The murders were so brutal that the locales believed some supernatural evil entity or a werewolf was involved. The concept of serial killing was new to Soviet society in those days and a widespread fear prevailed everywhere. Andrei’s trial started in April 1992 after a careful examination ‘proved’ that he was of a sound mind and body. He showed signs of boredom, irritation, and anger at abrupt intervals in court, and it became apparent that he was, in fact, mentally disturbed. The court’s verdict came in October 1992, and he was sentenced to death by a gunshot to his head.
