The Chessboard Killer: Alexander Pichushkin Part 1

Melissa Stefanie

We needed to do another 2 parter for this piece of work. Alexander Pichushkin, dubbed the Chessboard Killer, or The Bitsa Park Maniac somehow went undetected for years as he murdered and dumped mostly men in Bitsa Park located in Moscow, Russia. Pichushkin had a sinister plan that involved the board of his favorite game, chess. In part 1, we cover his childhood and background, and an incident in his childhood that may have had a detrimental impact to his mental health. We also discuss his victims and tell the stories of survivors!
