Taxi Driver Who Says He Wants To Clear Russia Of S3x Workers, Rapes And Kill 4 Ladies Who Are Not Prostitutes

A Russian taxi driver has confessed to killing four women and cutting out their s3x organs after he suspected them of being prostitutes. The 39-year-old told police he raped the women before murdering them and mutilating their bodies.

Named only as Alexey N, he told investigators he wanted to 'cleanse' Novosibirsk, the third largest Russian city – of sex workers.

Dubbed the 'taxi driver maniac', he admitted the crimes after DNA evidence linked him to the clothing of his final victim, a 28-year-old mother-of-one who worked as a shop assistant, said police.

Before murdering the women, he raped them and then dismembered their corpses, cutting out their sexual organs and dumping their body parts in different places.

His final victim, shop assistant Galina Litvinenko, 28, vanished after calling a taxi at 6am on 16 October. She was reported missing and for two weeks her family and volunteers had been looking for her. Her pictures were posted around the city as part of the search. Her driver, the suspect, claimed that his car had broken down and she got out to walk.

There are three more victims apart from Galina. He killed all of them over the last six months, starting this spring, a police officer said.

He was however caught after his DNA was discovered on one of the victim’s bodies.
