Moscow: Alexander Pichushkin, an imprisoned Russian serial murderer for life in 2007 for killing 48 people, said he is ready to confess 11 more murders, said Russia’s criminal service on Saturday.
Pichushkin, now 50, attacked his victims, often homeless people, alcoholics and elders, around the Bitsevsky Park, a great green place in southern Moscow. His murders lasted from 1992 to 2006.
The Russian media nicknamed him “The Chessboard Killer” because he told the detectives in a confession that he hoped to put a currency in each square of a 64 -square -square chess board for each of his victims.
Pichushkin has been arrested in the Polar Owl prison, in the remote north of the Arctic of Russia, since he was sentenced.
In a statement published in the Telegram The Messenger application on Saturday, Russia’s criminal service said Pichushkin had told investigators that he was ready to confess 11 more murders of men and women.
Pichushkin has been suspicious of additional murders to which he was convicted.
He affirmed during his trial having killed 63 people, but prosecutors only accused him of 48 murders and three murder attempts.
If it is convicted of additional murders, it would make the second more prolific serial murderer of Pichushkin Russia register, behind Mikhail Popkov, a former policeman convicted of 78 murders.
