[Regnum] A resident of Kazan was sentenced to life imprisonment for 31 murders of elderly women. This became known on March 21.

The Supreme Court of the Republic of Tatarstan sentenced Radik Tagirov. According to the investigation, in the period from March 2011 to October 2012, he committed murders and attempted murders related to robbery, as well as direct assaults on 34 elderly women.

“Finally impose a sentence based on the totality of sentences in the form of life imprisonment. Tagirov should be sentenced to serve the first 10 years in prison and the remainder of his sentence in a special regime correctional colony,” the judge announced the decision.

The convict committed crimes in 15 cities, including Moscow, Kazan and Yekaterinburg. The man posed as a utility worker and entered apartments, where he then attacked pensioners, beat, strangled and stole money. Investigators checked more than 10 thousand people for involvement in crimes and conducted more than five thousand examinations. After his arrest, Tagirov confessed to his crime, but later changed his position and declared self-incrimination.

As Regnum reported, the corpse of a pensioner with a severed head was found in a private house in the Nizhny Novgorod region. According to investigators, the woman could have been killed because of old coins and antiques. In addition to her severed head, she was found with her hands tied and signs of beatings on her body. The attackers probably planned to find out where the pensioner kept her valuables. At the same time, the actual value of the antique items she had was not established.
