The Dnepropetrovsk maniacs ((ウクライナ語:Дніпропетровські маніяки), (ロシア語:Днепропетровские маньяки)) are Ukrainian serial killers responsible for a string of murders in Dnepropetrovsk,〔The name of this city is rendered in English as either "Dnipropetrovsk" or "Dnepropetrovsk". English-language media coverage of this case almost invariably uses the spelling "Dnepropetrovsk".〕 in June and July 2007. The case gained additional notoriety because the killers made video recordings of some of the murders, with one of the videos leaking to the Internet. Two 19‑year-old locals, Viktor Sayenko ((ウクライナ語:Віктор Саєнко), (ロシア語:Виктор Саенко)) and Igor Suprunyuk ((ウクライナ語:Ігор Супрунюк), (ロシア語:Игорь Супрунюк)), were arrested and charged with 21 murders. A third conspirator, Alexander Hanzha ((ウクライナ語:Олександр Ганжа), (ロシア語:Александр Ганжа)) was charged with two armed robberies that took place before the murder spree. On February 11, 2009, all three defendants were found guilty. Suprunyuk and Sayenko were sentenced to life imprisonment, while Hanzha received nine years in prison. The lawyers for Suprunyuk and Sayenko launched an appeal, which was dismissed by the Supreme Court of Ukraine in November 2009. == Murders == The first two murders occurred late on June 25, 2007. The first victim was 33‑year-old local woman Yekaterina Ilchenko,〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Viktor Sayenko and Igor Suprunyuk Murder 19 in a Month )〕 who was walking home after having tea at her friend's apartment. According to Sayenko's confession, he and Suprunyuk were "out for a walk." Suprunyuk had a hammer. As Ilchenko walked past, Suprunyuk "spun around" and struck her in the side of the head. Ilchenko's body was found by her mother at 5 AM. Within an hour of the first murder, the two men attacked their next victim, Roman Tatarevich as he slept on a bench near the first murder scene. Tatarevich's head was smashed with blunt objects numerous times, rendering him unrecognizable. The bench was located across the street from the local public prosecutor's office.〔 On July 1, two more victims, Yevgenia Grischenko and Nikolai Serchuk, were found murdered in the nearby town of Novomoskovsk. On the night of July 6, three more people were murdered in Dnepropetrovsk. The first was Egor Nechvoloda, a recently discharged army recruit, who was bludgeoned while walking home from a night club. His mother found the body in the morning by their apartment building on Bohdan Khmelnytsky Street.〔 Yelena Shram, a 28‑year-old night guard, was then murdered around the corner on Kosiora Street. According to Sayenko's taped confession, as Shram walked towards them, Suprunyuk struck her with the hammer he had been hiding under his shirt and struck her several more times after she fell down. She had been carrying a bag filled with clothes. The men picked up the bag, used the clothes to clean the hammer, and threw the bag out. Later the same night, the men murdered a woman named Valentina Hanzha (no apparent relation to co-defendant Alexander Hanzha), a mother of three with a disabled husband.〔 The next day, July 7, two 14‑year-old boys from Podgorodnoye, a nearby village, were attacked as they went fishing. One of the two friends, Andrei Sidyuk, was killed, but the other, Vadim Lyakhov, managed to escape.〔 On July 12, 48‑year-old Sergei Yatzenko, disabled by a recent bout with cancer, went missing while riding his Dnepr motorcycle. His body was found four days later, with signs of a savage attack visible even after four days in the summer heat. Twelve more murders followed, often with multiple bodies found on the same day. In addition to the earlier sprees, two victims were found each day from July 14 through 16. Victims were seemingly selected at random. Many were vulnerable to attack, including children, elderly, vagrants, or people under the influence of alcohol. Most victims were killed using blunt objects, including hammers and steel construction bars. Blows were often directed at their faces, leaving them unrecognizable. Many victims were also mutilated and tortured, some victims had their eyes gouged out while they were still alive. One pregnant woman had her fetus cut from her womb. No sexual assaults on any victim were reported. Some victims were also robbed of their cell phones and other valuables, their possessions pawned to second-hand shops in the area. However, most victims had their possessions intact. The murders spanned a large geographical area. Aside from Dnepropetrovsk, many occurred in outlying areas of the Dnipropetrovsk Oblast.〔 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Dnepropetrovsk maniacs」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
