“The young man lured his victims to a deserted place. In most cases he murdered them with knives usually hitting under the lower jaw, and he beat one of his victims to death with a hammer on the head and chest,” the Senior Assistant Attorney of the region Yuliya Makarova told news agency “PenzaNews.”

She noted that the maniac separated heads from some corpses.

“Then he hid some of them in an abandoned pit for waste oil. The man broke three heads in his old school backpack with a hammer, then scattered bone fragments in a ravine near the house. Some of the corpses he dismembered and scattered in different places,” the agency interlocutor explained.

According to her, one of the victims of Alexander Bychkov suspected him of murders and tried to blackmail him, but was killed.

“It was his heart that the young maniac ate first. Moreover, according to the convict, he cooked and ate the heart of another victim,” Yuliya Makarova added.

The Senior Assistant Attorney of the Penza region stressed that, according to the results of a complex criminal psychological and psychiatric examination, the maniac has a mixed personality disorder, which, however, does not influence his ability to analyze his own actions — Alexander Bychkov was found sane.

“He described all his murders in his personal diary, including eating body parts of two of nine corpses. In addition, a large number of films containing scenes of violence were confiscated from his house,” the agency interlocutor noted.

She also reminded that “Belinsky maniac” was arrested after stealing from the store.
