Russia's Most Terrifying Serial Killer: The Chessboard Killer | MurderousMinds

When residents of Khersonskaya Street discovered the identity of the Bitsa Park Maniac in 2006, they were shocked. They couldn't comprehend the idea that their neighbour, Alexander Pichushkin, who they described as reserved, sensitive and polite, was a man capable of the murder of over 40 individuals over the span of five years. One neighbour, a 70-year-old woman named Svetlana recalled, "He called me Auntie Sveta. He loved animals and was inconsolable if a pet died. For forty years I lived in the same house as a maniac!"

Pichushkin's mother felt much the same way. She hadn't felt even an inkling that her son was the man that the press was now calling 'The Chessboard Killer.' So who exactly is Alexander Pichushkin? And how did he get away with his crimes for so long? In this documentary, we aim to answer this question, and more, as we explore the life and crimes of Alexander Pichushkin: The Chessboard Killer.
