Thrice-Convicted SVO “Hero” Boiled His Girlfriend to Hide the Murder

After serving three prison sentences, Sergey Asyapov joined the war and returned home to kill.

In this episode of From Russia with Crime, we reveal how a violent repeat offender was freed for military service — and how even after murder, the Russian court took his side. A child lost his mother, a killer got leniency, and the front lines are still open to men like him.
