March 1, 1970 - Alexander Spesivtsev

Alexander Nikolayevich Spesivtsev (Russian: Александр Николаевич Спесивцев, born 1 March 1970) is a Russian serial killer, also known as the Novokuznetsk Monster and the Siberian Ripper, convicted for the killing of four people in Novokuznetsk in 1991 and 1996.

Spesivtsev, with the assistance of his mother Lyudmila, targeted street children and young women across Novokuznetsk by luring them into their apartment, where they would be tortured and killed, and sometimes cannibalized. He confessed at some point to nineteen murders, but later retracted his confession and was convicted for only four. Based on found evidence he is suspected of having committed over 80 murders starting from as early as 1991.
