Alexander Spesivtsev, who was 27 year old at that time made it a responsibility to murder those children who he deemed harmful to the society. He developed an extreme hate towards these children. During that time, Novokuznetsk is impoverished that street children are so common. After killing their targets, their remains will be cannibalized. They then discard the unwanted parts at the Aba River. He was said to be the culprit to the Russian serial murder of at least 19 street children whom he took to his home and cooked them.
The Mistake From the Local Authority
During the time that he was committing the series murder, Alexander Spesivtsev was unemployed and has a record of mental problems. The police did not take him as a suspect at first; it was only when he decided to discard the body at a nearby river when police started suspecting him. However, since the victims are street children and they were receiving no complains, the random disappearances were taken lightly by the police. If only they have taken the report of Spevitsev’s neighbor, they could’ve been able to save more lives.
His neighbour was complaining about a disgusting stench and loud music coming from his house.The police decided to ignore the said complainants and thought that it was a matter of cleanliness and that the report should be handled by the civil service. If only they took the matter seriously, they would be able to discover that a young girl was murdered in that place in 1991. Perhaps, they would be able to prevent him from committing other crimes.
The Discovery of the Crime
After a year of complaining, the police decided to investigate and they found the body of a 13 year old girl named Olga. She has a multiple stabbed wounds and was barely breathing. Before she passed away, she told the police that they helped the Alexander Spesivtsev carried bags to his home. Upon further inspection, the true horror was discovered by the authority. They found remains of the victims inside the bathroom with their head decapitated. They also found 80 clothing stained with blood believed to be owned by his victims.
During the trial, the authority described Alexander Spesivtsevas intellectual. He was able to write books about philosophy. Prior to this, he was admitted on a psychiatric hospital after killing his girlfriend.
