The Irkutsk maniac turned out to be two 18-year-old Nazi skinheads

On April 4, 2011, students were detained in Irkutsk Akademgorodok Medical University Artyom Anufriev born in 1992 and his accomplice, Nikita Lytkin 1993 year of birth. Young people are suspected of committing a series of violent killings and attacks, some of which were caught on video. None of cases, the personal belongings of the victims of the killer were not touched.

It is reported that the killings began in Akademgorodok in December last year and continued until the end Martha. The attackers, apparently, chose their victims randomly: from their hands died as employees of scientific institutes located on the territory Akademgorodok, and the homeless. The killers attacked their victims in the street, inflicting hammer blows to the head and stab wounds. In some cases, killers sneered at the bodies of the dead, so a video recording fell into the hands of the investigation, on which young people "to the cheering of each other cut off the murdered a woman’s ear with a knife, they stuck a knife in her eye, nose, cut her mouth…”.

From the analysis of materials seized after the search, as well as pages on social media, investigators concluded that both detainees were Nazi skinheads. In one of the correspondence, Artem Anufriev incited his interlocutor to commit the murder of a janitor for "training psyche”, and after the detention, the young people explained their actions by the desire to “cleanse city".

The motives behind the attacks have not yet been determined with certainty. perhaps young people are mentally ill.
