He was a soft-spoken grandfather, a family man and a retired English teacher. But beneath the model-citizen exterior of Andrei Chikatilo lurked the most heinous of criminals - the serial killer. Sexually mutilating and eating his victims, his 12-year rampage in southern Russia finally came to an end in 1990, when an uncannily accurate profile of him by a local psychologist led police to him. He has admitted killing 11 boys and 42 girls and young women. This book probes the mind of this killer.

Hardcover / Hardback. Etat : Very Good. Etat de la jaquette : Very Good. Hardback. BCA Reprint. He was a soft-spoken grandfather. The 'perfect' famiy man. A former Russian literature teacher. And a serial killer. His name.Andrei Chikatilo. Beneath Chikatilo's model-citizen exterior lurked the warped mind of one of the most prolific and evil serial killers of all time. He lured drunks, prostitutes and innocent children to deserted spots in order to commit acts of almost unthinkable depravity. At his sensational 1992 trial, amid the anguished cries of victims' loved ones and watched in his cage by the world's media, Chikatilo admitted to murdering 53 women and children over a 12yr period. What sort of person could commit such crimes - repeatedly? What had happened in the past to turn Chikatilo into such a monster? Why did it take the police six more years to catch him, despite an initial arrest in 1984? The author, a British journalist based in Moscow, has, in answering these questions and more, unearthed a whole wealth of new information. Based on interviews with key figures in the case - from the police who finally caught Chikatilo to the psychiatrist who helped track him down, the author gives a chilling insight into a damaged mind in a damaged society.
