EN: Case #1: The Chessboard Killer. Part 2 — The Inventory of Death.

from Russian Noir: The Forbidden Files. · host gez4548

The second part of our investigation delves into the bloodiest period of Alexander Pichushkin’s "work." He evolved from a frightened teenager into a methodical "engineer of death." We break down his chilling ritual: how a simple bottle of vodka and a fake story about a "dead dog" became a lethal trap for the lonely and elderly. You will discover the secret behind his invisibility: why did hundreds of police patrols return empty-handed? We descend into the sewer collectors of Bitsevsky Park—the "gates of hell" that concealed his crimes for years. This is a story of how a chessboard was filled with dates, and how a killer turned living souls into statistics, feeling like the absolute master of a vast, terrified city.
