Background
Sergey Golovkin was a Russian serial killer known as "The Fisher" or "The Udav" (The "Boa"). He was born in 1959 in Moscow, Russia, and he died in 1996.
Golovkin terrorised Moscow for 16 years, killing eleven known victims and more likely many more unknown victims.
A television special on this case warned that this case was cruel and not for children or those with a weak stomach. It was described as one of the worst cases in the annals of serial crime.
The offence
Golovkin killed and butchered 11 boys in the Moscow area between 1986 and 1992.
His victims were little boys ages ten to twelve. Golovkin would rape and sodomise the boys while he mutilated them.
Golovkin mutilated the victims by cutting their genitals, torso and throats. He slit the bellies of some victims and cut their testicles. Golovkin derived pleasure from slitting the bellies of some of his victims—young boys—and cutting their testicles.
Investigation
A spokesman for Moscow district prosecutor's office said:
"He is a straight forward maniac,"
Trial
Golovkin was sentenced to death in Moscow in 1994.
Sentencing
Golovkin was sentenced to death for murdering 11 boys over an eight-year period.
Outcome
Golovkin’s death sentence was carried out on August 2, 1996, when he was executed by shooting.
Other details
Golovkin joined Andrei Chikatilo in perestroika’s rapidly growing gallery of the depraved. He was described as a pederast and serial killer.
