This guy ranks ahead of the legendary Wisconsinites Jeffrey Dahmer and The Great Ed Gein, He Feasted For Twelve Years! Fifty-Three Victims!
He aquainted himself with strangers at the train station! Suggested they take a walk in the nearby woods, and he was soon offing them. There was a
television documentary on him that showed his little shack in the nearby woods where he got the privacy and cooking facilities he needed.
His little "dacha" was a secret that never got out until the jig was up.
This guy was totally wacko!!!! His trial Judge read into the record: "He tortured his victims by biting out their tongues, tearing away their sexual organs, and cutting their bellies open." That was part of the Verdict!
Further, the Judge said, "In his ordinary life he was a limited primitive individual. But when he committed the murders, Chikatilo was acting with extraordinary sophistication and cunning." He said that in some cases Chikatilo gouged out the hearts or stomachs of victim, or cut off fingers and noses. Sometimes he cut off their genitals and the tips of their tongues and ate them.
Andrei Chikatilo described himself as "a mistake of nature, a mad beast". Judging from his uncanny resemblance to Hannibal Lecter we don't dispute that characterization.
Eating people is an insane act, right? Jeffrey Dahmer was found to be sane! So Was Chikatilo!
