1. Alexander Pichushkin (Russia)
In 2006, after bodies were found one after another in and around Moscow's Bitsa Park, panic spread throughout the area. This process of finding dead bodies continued for about three years. These murders were discussed on late-night television shows. Everyone was starting to suspect a serial killer.
Bitsevsky Park was quite dense and green. This park, like a forest of growing trees, was a peaceful and beautiful place for the people living around it, where many people used to come for morning and evening walks. Despite the arrival of many people, this park was so big that it was easy to find corners of peace for everyone. There was also a supermarket near this park where a young woman named Larissa worked.
Larissa worked here as a salesgirl and was a normal woman. A clerk who worked with him in the same supermarket, Alexander, was a 32-year-old man with a very normal, pale face and a strong stature. Alexander's voice was deep and he spoke spiritually. Amid these serious things, he used to say such jokes that everyone would laugh.
In 2006, it was the evening of June 14, and Alexander had been talking to his colleague, Larissa, for a long time. Larissa was enjoying these things quite a lot, and at times she laughed at Alexander's sense of humour. But now that the matter has reached a serious note, what is love? The discussion was going on about this subject. In his spiritual way, sometimes he used to say that love is the greatest truth, and then, the very next moment, it was big deceit. He also proved love as nectar with his arguments. And listening to him in a monologue style, Larissa was deeply impressed by him.
While speaking these things, Alexander looked like a supernatural force. Larissa was staring at his gravely face, immersed in attention. Then Alexander asked him whether she understood what he was saying. When Larissa nodded, Alexander also said that he never lies. One day, in that big court, he will say that he always said what he thought.
Larissa was impressed and, at some points, surprised, but had no idea what kind of person Alexander was. She was just getting carried away in these moments. Then Alexander offered Larisa a cigarette. When Larissa put the cigarette between her lips, Alexander lit it with a lighter. Meanwhile, making a joke about cigarettes, Alexander said that cigarettes are better than girlfriends, whom you can put on your lips at any time and she never throws any tantrums. Larissa laughed.
Larissa was puffing up and Alexander was talking. More than half an hour had passed since both of them talked. Now Alexander offers Larisa a walk in the park. Larisa jokingly asked if he followed any philosophy of walking, and then Alexander said with a sly grin that he wanted to visit the grave of his favourite dog and would be happy if Larissa would walk along.
It is strange to Larissa that Alexander wants to take her to the grave of his favourite dog. Larissa was enjoying being in Alexander's company, so she agreed. She messaged her son that she was going for a walk in the park with Alexander and would return after a while. She also left Alexander's number in this message. Both picked up their bags and left for the park.
While walking through the park's dense trees, both of them disappeared into a secluded area where there was no way out and no one except them. Alexander, who has so far spoken of his style, suddenly mentioned the dead bodies found in this park for some time and asked Larissa, and then Larissa said that, of course, she knew about it. Then Alexander asked, with a crooked smile, if she was not afraid to come here. Then Larissa was scared a little.
Alexander was talking about these murders that Larissa had never heard of on television or in society. Alexander, meanwhile, looking at Larisa with mock laughter, said, "I read a line somewhere which I think is very accurate. That line was that if someone is close to you or is getting closer to you, then the pleasure you will get in knowing and understanding them will be much more comfortable than if you kill them.
After saying this, Alexander started laughing, and Larissa was now scared. After this, when Alexander started talking about the intimate relationship and the murder, Larisa was surrounded by many kinds of doubts. With all these bad thoughts and a lot of walking, Larissa suddenly started feeling very tired. Larisa had stumbled a couple of times, and Alexander had made her drink a few more cigarettes during this walk.
After a while, it happened that Alexander was talking about himself, and the gasping Larissa began to talk to herself in a low voice. In a few moments, Larissa was shattered by fatigue, fear, and doubt, and, gasping heavily, she grabbed a tree trunk with both hands. She leaned against the tree, almost clinging to it. When Larissa looked at Alexander, she had a false hope of help, but now Alexander had a cruel smile on his face. Larissa is convinced that Alexander is the eccentric murderer who may be to blame for the murders in the park.
Alexander: The tree you cling to, Larissa, is where a dead body was found a few months ago on the back side of this tree. The girl's head was repeatedly beheaded from the trunk of this tree.
Larissa (murmuring and gasping): How do you know?
Alexander: Wrong question, Larissa. I think you can understand that now you too have come to know everything.
Larissa's eyes could not open. Her whole body was relaxed and she had fallen asleep on the tree. Alexander began to scratch his cheek with the bark of the tree. Alexander was asking if this burning cigarette could fall into the pile of these dry leaves and set it on fire. Almost unconscious, Larissa was no longer in a position to protest.
Larissa (in a somewhat open but tired voice): So are you going to kill me now?
Alexander: What other choice do I have? You can understand, Larisa, that I have no other way of doing this.
Then Alexander scratched Larissa's throat with sharp tree bark. Larissa kept trying to say something, and Alexander slowly watched her in agony. Moments later, Alexander struck Larissa's neck and head with such force that Larissa suffocated and became a corpse clinging to the same tree. Alexander sat talking to Larissa alone for a while and then went to his house.
Upon reaching home, Alexander freshened up as usual and took a bath. Then, humming, he opened the bottle of vodka and made his page. After arranging food from the fridge and kitchen, he had dinner while watching TV and went to sleep. The next day, as usual, Alexander did all his work and wrote in his diary. After writing the diary, he looked at his favourite chessboard and wrote something on it with a pen.
The next day, i.e., on June 16, 2006, there was a knock at Alexander's door. When Alexander opened the door, some police officers were the door. He asked them to come inside and serve water properly. These officers said that the body of his colleague, Larissa, has been found and they want to do some interrogation in this connection because the last time Larissa was seen with him on a camera. What Alexander did after this surprised the police officer. Alexander began to say, with a smile—
You've undoubtedly arrived at the correct location. And I assure you that after this, you will not need to go anywhere else because I have the answers to all your questions. What is the matter? Why are you not sure? Look, I've never lied. Well understood, but you need some proof. Wait, let me give you a proof. This diary is very precious to me because I have written a lot in it, which will be very useful for you. And yes, look at this. This is my very favourite chessboard. It has 64 squares. I do not remember, so I have written the date of each murder in each square. I'm sorry, officer, but two of the chessboard's squares were left empty.”
After hearing all this, there was no limit to the surprise of the police officers because Alexander also said that he should not panic and that he would tell the truth in court as well.
After the investigation and complete investigation, the last day of Alexander's trial came after a quarter of a year, i.e., on October 24, 2007. Alexander was found guilty of nearly 50 counts of murder and attempted murder. He repeatedly said in court—
"Your honour, life without killing for me is like living without food for you. I am saying what I have always thought. It is true. And I request that you not blame me for lesser murders. If you do this, then it will not be justice for the other 11–12 people whom I have killed."
After hearing this whole case, it took an hour that day for the court to pronounce the verdict against Alexander Pichushkin. Alexander was sentenced to life imprisonment with instructions that the convict be kept in solitary confinement for the first 15 years of his sentence. This serial killer was named the "Chessboard Killer," and was found to be more dangerous than the world's most infamous serial killers. After Alexander's case, there was a long discussion about the re-implementation of the death penalty in Russian law, and many experts strongly advocated this punishment for criminals like Alexander.
According to the information, Pichushkin had fallen from a swing in his childhood years, which caused a serious brain injury. This injury had a profound effect on his mood. In addition to internal injuries, Alexander had a large bruise on his forehead, for which he was often teased at school. This lack of control and intense aggression was shown through Alexander's vengeance.
Alexander's behaviour became such an issue that his mother decided to put him in a separate school for children with special needs. At his new school, his teachers loved him very much, and there he also behaved politely and pleasantly. In a way, Alexander brought out his aggression through a game of chess. Chess created a deep bond between Alexander and his grandfather. But the death of his grandfather broke him.
Alexander committed the first murder at the age of 18 when the girl he liked started dating another guy.
Alexander went to Bitsa Park with a bottle of vodka and his chessboard and asked strangers if they wanted to join him in a game.
Most of Alexander's victims were old or middle-aged men. There were also some women and children among the victims. Alexander used to take his victims to the place where he had buried his dog. He makes them sit, plays chess with them, and then suddenly kills them.
Alexander's ten victims lived in his apartment complex, which can be understood from his statement that it is more pleasant and easier to kill the people you are close to.
Alexander's goal was to kill a total of 64 chess squares. In many of his murders, he also took into account the last wish of the victim.
The question was, why did Alexander commit the murders?
One possibility could be his childhood injury. Second, his injury was made fun of at school. He was annoyed with an inferiority complex. He wanted to make others feel as he felt then.
The dominant emotion that Alexander portrayed was self-righteousness. He behaved as if he was doing his victims a favour by releasing them to a new world. Alexander considered neither the reality of his crimes nor the devastation caused by others.
Alexander Pichushkin was not diagnosed with any mental illness, but it seems he was just insane. The way he described his motives showed that there was something inside him that he had no control over that caused him to act inhumanely.
Alexander Pichushkin was born on April 9th, 1974 in Moscow, Russia. Today, Pichushkin is serving the last day of his sentence in the Arctic "Polar Owl" prison.
2. Earle Leonard Nelson (United States)
Earle Leonard Nelson was born on May 12, 1897, in San Francisco, California, U.S. Earle Leonard Nelson was an American serial killer, rapist, and corpse rapist. He is considered the first known serial sex killer of the twentieth century. Nelson was a strange-looking man. He had a large forehead, bulging lips, and long hands, which earned him the nickname "The Gorilla Murderer."
Nelson had a very difficult childhood. When he was two years old, both his mother and father died. Later she was raised by his grandmother. When he was 10 years old, he collided with a car while riding a bicycle in the street, fell on his head and fainted. After about a week, when he regained consciousness, he started behaving like a lunatic. Headaches and loss of memory have become common. That's how his life began to pass. When his grandmother passed away at the age of 14, he lived with his Aunt Lillian.
He became addicted to perverted sex when he was 12–13 years old and began masturbating whenever he saw a girl coming or going. In 1915, at the age of 17, he was sentenced to two years in prison for ransacking someone's house. For some time, he served in the United States Navy, but due to his strange habits and misbehaving, he was fired from there and admitted to Napa State Mental Hospital in California. He ran away from the hospital thrice, and later the hospital staff stopped searching for him.
At the age of 21, Nelson started committing sex crimes. In 1921, Nelson attempted to rape a 12-year-old girl named Mary Summers, who lived in the neighbourhood. People caught hold of him when the girl raised an alarm. The police again admitted him to the Napa State Mental Hospital. He was released from the Napa Mental Institute in 1925 and began a murder spree in early 1926.
Most of Nelson's victims were landlords, whom he used to contact on the pretext of renting a room.
Earle made his first victim, Clara Newman, on February 20, 1926. Clara Newman was a 62-year-old widow and owner of several boarding houses. There was an empty room in her Pierce Street home, where she lived, and on the door was a placard with the words "To Let."
Earle Stanley Nelson, dressed in a clean suit and as a gentleman, walked over to Clara Newman's door and rang the bell. Clara lived in the house with her nephew, Merton Newman, but was alone at the time. She opened the door herself and Nelson politely expressed his desire to rent the room. Clara invited Earle Stanley Nelson in.
It was a cold Saturday morning in February. About two hours later, when Clara's nephew, Merton Newman, returned home, he saw a man wearing a cap to the top of his eyes and walking out the door.
Merton asked the stranger, surprised, "Who are you?"
Merton Newman could not see the man well, as his entire body was covered with clothing.
The man (Earle Stanley Nelson) said in surprise, "Tell the mistress I'll be back in a while. I want to rent a room."
Then, without waiting for an answer, the stranger disappeared into the mist.
Merton Newman reached into the kitchen, calling for Aunt Clara. There, the milk had become very thick while boiling. He quickly turned off the gas and murmured, "Aunt is becoming forgetful."
Merton searched several rooms, finally reaching a room on the second floor, his eyes tearing with fear. Clara was lying naked under the bed. There were also wound marks on her body, indicating that she had been assaulted. The post-mortem revealed that Clara was murdered by strangulation. The saddest thing was that Clara was raped after her death.
On March 2, 1926, in San Jose, a 63-year-old elderly woman named Laura Beale was strangled to death. The post-mortem revealed that she was also raped after her death.
Laura Beale was a wealthy woman, a church worker, and a leader of the Christian Women's Restraint Association. The belt of silk rope was so tight around her neck that she got stuck in the flesh. It was wrapped tightly around her neck several times. The accused also came to Laura Beale's place to get a room for rent.
In March 1926, Nelson attacked several women, but they all survived.
Nelson put a handkerchief in Mrs. Courier's mouth and tried to strangle her. She managed to get out of the house and the murderer fled.
Nelson tried to put a noose around Mrs. Vickers' neck, but she narrowly escaped the attack. Here too, Nelson wanted to rent an apartment.
On the same day, Elsie Ehlert was in a store in San Jose. Then Nelson attempted to strangle her but was unsuccessful. Edna Martano narrowly escaped a similar attack.
Regina Bertsher, 21, was attacked by Nelson twice in a single day. When Regina Bertsher was on the back lawn of her house early in the morning, Nelson attacked her by climbing a wall. But Regina Bertsher scratched it badly with her big fingernails and started crying. Nelson ran away, scared and upset.
In the afternoon, as soon as Regina Bertsher opened the door to leave the house, Nelson, who was hiding nearby, attacked again. But Regina Bertsher immediately closed the door.
On March 13, 1926, the killer was spotted and the police were informed. Police arrested several suspects in the strangulation case, but none could be convicted.
