Chessboard Killer Goes on Trial

[rhyknow]

"If they hadn't caught me, I would never have stopped, never. They saved a lot of lives by catching me."

Alexander Pichushkin was arrested last year. In jail, awaiting trial, he spoke to a Russian TV channel.

It is called the case of the "Bitsevsky maniac", after a park in southern Moscow. It was here, among the trees, that a serial killer stalked his victims.

No-one is sure of the exact number.

Pichushkin has been charged with 49 murders, and three attempted murders.

He boasts that he killed 61 people - 60 of them in Bitsevsky Park. Media reports have quoted investigators as saying they believe he wanted to kill one person for each of the 64 squares on a chessboard.
