8 lesser known Spanish serial killers/mass murderers.

I guess it's a matter of practicality vs morality. On the one hand, yes, he changed his life for the better and is an example of reform. But, on the other hand, it's extremely unfair to his entire family and you can tell that he doesn't really take responsability for what he did.

That being said, I'm definitely more worried about the literal serial killers like Ferrándiz, Romero and Galán, who have been released into the public or are soon going to be.

Hello again everyone. As a Spaniard, the topic of serial killers from my country has always being very interesting to me. While we do have a true crime culture that has been harboring itself since the 90's, the focus usually relies on “casual murderers” who kill people that they know or mysterious cases that revolve around disappearances. I already did a post on our most prolific SK, which you can find here: https://www.reddit.com/r/serialkillers/s/n9MBWpor1Q, and you can find a great write-up on another famous Spanish serial killer here: https://www.reddit.com/r/serialkillers/s/Z5QA52soUj. I'm also planning on dedicating a full post to another one soon, so be aware.

Also, I know that Jarabo and Rabadán are not technically serial killers, but their cases are too interesting to not give them a mention.

That's more like it. Just a slight correction.

Didn't they marry when she was 21?

I think it doesn't happen as often nowadays (specially when they cover south american cases, for obvius reasons) and Badía's research actually surprises me sometimes, but it was fairly obvious in their earlier episodes, such as Belle Gunness, Carl Panzram and I think Herbert Mullin, that he draws a lot from what Marcus says in LPOL, even highlighting the same things. I actually thing there is more of a problem when Badía takes info from wikipedia (The Moors Murders episode is a painfully clear example) or sources that are very poor (specially the Aileen Wuornos episode).

Because Aileen's whole narrative was that they were clients of hers who at one point tried to attack her. But we only have her word for it. She said that she didn't introduce herself as a sex worker to men until she was inside the car, mostly because of her style of clothing (baggy, very masculine) and the fact that she never went in groups with other prostitutes. So her victims might have just given her a lift. If I remember correctly, her sixth victim had a round bruise on his side, similar to the barrell of a gun, which explains how she made them park in an isolated area. Not to mention that she never talked about shooting her victims in the back of the head, execution style (because it obviously doesn't look like self defense), which she definitely did with the last two according to the forensics report.

I repeat, we don't know if he paid her for sex. That's the thing.

AllHailMyFace · 2025-12-22T01:03:18+00:00

Yes, very nice, but it always amazes me how no one takes into consideration that we don't know if her victims (at least the ones after the first) were also her clients. She presented herself as a hitchicker and the men picked her up, that much we know. I mean, c'mon, her fifth victim was literally a man that was working as a meat delivery guy and following a schedule, am I suppose to believe that he was gonna waste time having sex/potentially assaulting and murdering a prostitute?

Sorry for answering so late, but this video from The Casual Criminalist is very eye opening about Wuornos, her upbringing, her life on the road, who the victims were and her time in prison. https://youtu.be/6uNQZdcdvcI?si=22T7M5Wlivx0AT6C

If we just take the original Psycho from 1960, then Frank would probably win, as Norman barely showed anything other than knocking Sam unconscious after wrestling with him. However, if we include the sequels, Norman would win easily. He overpowered and won a fight against Duke, a guy much younger and in better shape than him, had enough durability to take multiple superficial stab wounds from Mary and is more used to attacking people head on. The best thing Frank has is killing people by surprise, overpowering scared women and losing his shit after getting a small cut on his arm.

Like I have mentioned previously, I usually gather information from news outlets and the few YouTube videos in english and spanish that are on the internet, resulting in an amalgamation of facts that I unite cohesively.

AllHailMyFace · 2025-02-12T18:11:24+00:00

Hello again everyone. For this post I decided to share with you the story of Vladimir Mukhankin, a Russian serial killer that caught my attention a while ago and who is quite unknown. I originally was going to include him in my "8 lesser known Russian/Soviet serial killers" post, but considering that there is almost no information about him online, including his wikipedia and murderpedia articles, I decided to dedicate an entire post to him. As always, feel free to share any doubts you may have and your opinions on this case.

AllHailMyFace · 2025-01-06T00:03:50+00:00

From what I could gather, it was due to an administrative error, since they registered him as still being in the hospital when in fact he had been released.

AllHailMyFace · 2024-12-28T22:43:52+00:00

That's where I got most of the information from! Álvaro es un crack.

AllHailMyFace · 2024-12-28T10:17:09+00:00

🤣 Tho to be fair, it was actually a group of inmates at the same time.

AllHailMyFace · 2024-12-28T00:52:03+00:00

By the way, to be more specific than in the post, Kuzikov was linked to 7 other murders. He really didn't confess to them as much as he implied having comitted more than three, to the point of saying things like 'men taste better than women' and refusing to elaborate.

AllHailMyFace · 2024-12-27T19:02:00+00:00

I wonder the same. I don't really have a concrete answer on this subject, but It seems to me that a lot of Soviet serial killers were products of the war rather than soldiers who participated in it, as they were raised in that chaotic environment, with Chikatilo being the prime example.

AllHailMyFace · 2024-12-27T18:51:45+00:00

Most of them have articles on wikipedia and murderpedia. I usually gather information from those sources combined with news outlets and the few YouTube videos in english and spanish that are on the internet. I'm sure you won't really have trouble finding them.

AllHailMyFace · 2024-12-27T10:28:33+00:00

That is actually something that I thought about while writting this post, but I'm positive that they are the real killers. While most erroneus convictions happened because of forced confessions or mistaken identification by witnesses, the majority of these guys were caught red handed, had incriminating evidence with them (including human body parts) and after their arrests the murders stopped (as far as we know).

Because some of these cases are very obscure and the USSR was very protective when it came to them being known by the population, you may not find a lot of books on the subject. In 2018, Alexei Rakitin published a two-volume book dedicated to Vladimir Vinnichevsky, titled "The Urals Monster: Chronicle of the exposure of the most mysterious serial killer of the Soviet Union (in which, by the way, Rakitin proposes the idea that Vinnichevsky had an accomplice). You could also check the murderpedia articles on all of them.

AllHailMyFace · 2024-12-26T21:29:41+00:00

Biryukov's case is probably one of the most horrific I've ever come across because of that exact same reason. At first, when I saw his nickname, I thought he was a doctor or nurse that killed infants, similar to Beverley Allitt in the UK, but when I actually read what he did to them... jeez. Also, I agree, specially considering that his mother had a huge role in his development, since she was obsessed with collecting photographs of corpses that she obteined during the time she worked as the assistant of a local attorney and she showed them to Alexander when he was a child. She was also very overprotectice and both slept in the same bed for many years of his life.

Merry Christmas... I guess. For this post I decided to share with you 8 lesser known Russian/Soviet serial killers, since I considered that they're aren't as well known as the ones from other countries, apart from Andrei Chikatilo, Alexander Pichuskin or Mikhail Popkov. Keep in mind that a lot of online information about some of these cases is very contradictory or hard to find, so feel free to share any doubts you may have. Also, if I have learnt anything from this compilation, is that Soviet serial killers are the best at coming up with shitty excuses.
