He claimed that while killing people he felt like God as he decided whether his victims should live or die. He would always attack from behind to avoid spilling blood on his clothes. He also targeted younger men, children and women. He then stuck vodka bottles in their skulls to ensure that they did not survive. After drinking with them, he would kill them, hitting them on the head with a hammer. Pichushkin primarily targeted elderly homeless men by luring them with vodka. He later recanted this statement, saying that he would have continued killing indefinitely if he had not been stopped. Pichushkin has said his aim was to kill 64 people, the number of squares on a chessboard. Russian media have speculated that Pichushkin may have been motivated by a macabre competition with Russia’s most notorious serial killer, Andrei Chikatilo, who was convicted in 1992 of killing 52 children and young women in 12 years. Pichushkin committed his first murder as a student in 1992 and stepped up his crimes in 2001. He is believed to have killed at least 49 people and up to 61–63 people in southwest Moscow’s Bitsa Park, where several of the victims’ bodies were found. Alexander Yuryevich “Sasha” Pichushkin (born 9 April 1974 in Mytishchi, Moscow Oblast), also known as The Chessboard Killer and The Bitsa Park Maniac, is a Russian serial killer.
