S2 Ep3: The Butcher of Rostov - Andrei Chikatilo

By I Could Murder A Podcast

This week, Tom and Ben make their way to Rostov, Russia - as they uncover the unbelievable and truly chilling case of one of the world’s most dangerously deranged serial killers: Andrei Chikatilo - better known as The Butcher of Rostov...

Good Evening, Ladies and Gentleman and thank you for joining us for this special alert bulletin broadcast. It is just after 5 pm on October 30 1990, we begin today’s show with some haunting reports coming out of Rostov-on-Don. Where, and we warn listeners faint of heart, police have discovered the mutilated and tortured body of 16-year-old boy, at Donleskhoz train station. The wounds upon the young boy’s body are so drastic, so severe that this victim has been immediately linked to the ongoing search for “The Butcher of Rostov” - who has now claimed 51 helpless victims across the country. A wild, vicious and barbaric wave the likes of which our nation has never before seen. The youth has been strangled, stabbed twenty-seven times and castrated, with the tip of his tongue severed and his left eye removed from its socket. The crazed killer is STILL on the loose. Russian Government officials believe this makes this MONSTER the most horrifying, notorious serial killer this nation - or perhaps even the world - has ever seen. We urgently appeal for young people ALL ACROSS THE NATION to be alert, to be vigilant... and to be wary.. of the butcher...

But how was Chikatilo able to evade multiple police forces for so long? What unthinkable events in his childhood would serve to form some of his darkest and most sinister traits? Why was he placed in a purpose-built cage during his eventual trial? What “magic superpower” did Chikatilo possess? For what reason did he sharpen his teeth? And just why did they call him ‘The Goose’!?

Tune in and all will be revealed!
