Bitsevsky maniac - who is he?

Bitsevsky forest (park) - a special protected natural area in the territory of Moscow, which belongs to the districts of Yasenevo and Chertanovo. This is not the most comfortable place to relax in the capital, but here the residents of neighboring districts regularly come to just take a walk or have a picnic. Many people like the clean air of the reserve and the atmosphere of serenity and tranquility reigning here. In the mid-90s of the last century, the public was agitated and frightened by reports of a series of murders committed in the forest. The mysterious criminal was nicknamed "Beatsky maniac" and, despite all the efforts of law enforcement officers, he continued to kill for another 10 years.

On June 16, 2006 Alexander Pichushkin was arrested in the same criminal case.

For this reason, the future Bitsev maniac is in a specialized boarding school and comes home only for weekends and holidays. After graduating from this educational institution, Alexander enters the vocational school for a carpenter.
