Serial Killers

While the United States is definitely the serial killer capital of the world, Russia has also had its fair share. 

The country’s serial killers are often given lurid nicknames, such as “The Butcher of Rostov”, “Raskolnikov in a skirt”, and “The Chessboard Killer” (so-named because he confessed to wanting to kill sixty-four people, equal to the number of squares on a chessboard).

Particularly frightening is the case of Nikolai Dzhumagaliev, or “Metal Fang”, who wore a vicious set of metal teeth. 

Dzhumagaliev was caught in 1981 and accused of killing seven prostitutes, although it is believed that he may have killed as many as one hundred. 

He was a cannibal, and sometimes served his victims to unwitting friends. 

He was eventually found not guilty by reason of insanity, and spent some thirty years in mental facilities before being released.
