MOSCOW, Russia— In August, authorities announced that suspected serial killer Alexander Pichushkin, dubbed "Bitsevsky maniac" by the media, had confessed to committing at least 62 murders. Pichushkin is now asking that another 11 victims be added to his tally. During a recent court appearance, Pichushkin told the court, "A first killing is like your first love. You never forget it," adding, "In all the cases I killed for only one reason. I killed in order to live, because when you kill, you want to live." To date, prosecutors have charged Pichushkin with 49 murders and three attempted murders; however, Pichushkin is unsatisfied with that number. "I thought it would not be fair to forget about the other 11 people," he told the court. Pichushkin was arrested last year after police connected him to a string of murders in southern Moscow. During his interrogation, Pichushkin told investigators that he had planned to kill 64 people, one for each square on a chessboard.
