Russian serial killer Roman Burtsev: biography, punishment and article

After the capture of Chikatilo, the Rostov region breathed a sigh of relief, but after a couple of years everything repeated again. This time in the small town of Kamensk-Shakhtinsky appeared pedophile - Roman Burtsev, nicknamed the investigative authorities "Kamensky Chikatilo."

The childhood of the future pervert

Relatively little is known about the childhood of a maniac. According to one source, Roman Vladimirovich Burtsev is a child from a dysfunctional family. His parents were alcoholics. Little Roma was quiet and shy, was in constant stress, was often subjected to unreasonable punishments and heard drunken abuse.

But another version says that the mother and father of the future killer were absolutely normal people and never scoffed at their son. They tried to provide the child with everything necessary and therefore worked hard. As a child, Roman Burtsev practically did not see his parents, and because of the busy schedule, they could not deal with his education.

About which of these versions is true, is known only to the killer himself.

School alarm

For the first time, Roman Burtsev committed a crime at the age of 13. By force he pulled his coeval into the basement and, threatening, forced to undress. The screams of the girl attracted the attention of a woman working as a janitor. She went down to the basement and rescued the child and called the police. Law enforcement officers registered Roma. For more than 8 years, the serial killer was a respectable citizen and did not arouse suspicion until a certain point.

Youth and the first disappointment in life

After graduating from school, Burtsev enrolled in vocational school, and upon reaching 18 years old went to the army. Demobilized, Roman got a job at an engineering plant, where he worked as an electric welder.

The maniac's life was ordinary, normal, and there were no signs of trouble, but marriage for a young man was a great disappointment. The guy dreamed that his future wife would be virgin. But hopes did not materialize.

In search of innocence, the maniac began to get acquainted with girls much younger than his age to satisfy sexual fantasies. However, they all turned out to be “spoiled”. Then Roman Burtsev realized that only young girls could be immaculate, and distorted plans began to arise in his head.

Obsessive thoughts of crime

Roman Burtsev perfectly understood that girls of primary school age would not voluntarily go to bed with him and the only way to get what they wanted was to use force. But rape is a serious crime, and this temporarily stopped the maniac.

Thoughts about the attack became more intrusive, but the pedophile was disturbed by the circumstances, witnesses and the perspicacity of the schoolgirls. The children were suspicious of Roman and ran away, which is not surprising. After the atrocities of V. Mukhankin and A. Chikatilo, the parents constantly reminded their children of the danger, forbidding talking with strangers. But once Burtsev found his first victim.

Pedophile victims

Rape and monstrous murder occurred in the fall, in September, the 15th of 1993. Churilov’s young children were in a landfill, where Roman Vladimirovich Burtsev met them. The maniac did not see obstacles - there were no witnesses around, and he decided on a crime.

The pervert after the arrest told investigators that he wanted to rape the girl, but her brother could interfere. Therefore, the pedophile decided that first you need to get rid of the boy. Having lured a child into a pit, Burtsev hit the head of a twelve-year-old teenager until he died. Then Roman raped the girl, who was only 7 years old, strangled and carefully hidden the bodies of the victims in the trash.

5 days after the disappearance of the children, a criminal case was opened and a large-scale search began. “New projects” by Roman Burtsev so far could not be realized. He was scared and hid, but after the first murder, his thirst for blood only increased.

After 10 months, the pedophile struck again. In July, he met Masha, who was looking for a kitten. Burtsev offered help, and the desperate girl agreed, unaware of the monstrous plans of the man. Roman put the child on a motorcycle and drove out of town. There he acted according to the scheme applied earlier.

By the way, at that time the maniac had his own child of nine months of age. This information was covered by the journalists in the program Criminal Russia: Chikatilo’s Heirs, where the parents of the murdered children said that Burtsev was babysitting, shaking his hands with which he strangled the girls and beat the boy to death.

Searches for children and new attacks

In the summer of 1995, Roman Burtsev raped and killed another girl, hiding the corpse of a child in a landfill. There were no witnesses nearby, law enforcement bodies could not be found. The maniac was free and again "lay down."

Investigation authorities interrogated former prisoners, patients in psychiatric clinics, relatives and neighbors of the missing schoolchildren, but to no avail. Roman Burtsev, too, did not avoid a conversation with the police, but the acting skills of the psychopath were at their best, and the investigators did not have evidence of involvement in the man. However, the maniac was already entered into the database for harassing the girl in 1984. Therefore, investigators showed increased interest in Roma in comparison with other interrogated.

The pervert did not take any action for about a year. However, the pedophile soon made a new attack. He stole the girl at the school and drove to the cemetery. There everything happened as before.

Grandmother and spade

Russian serial killer Roman Burtsev hid the bodies of his victims too carefully and once made a mistake.

15 days after the disappearance of the last child, the maniac noticed a girl of 12 years old. Unfortunately, she did not survive. The assault and murder were spontaneous, and the psychopath did not have time to think everything through. He did not know where to hide the body of the victim. Leaving him in the bushes, went to the nearest summer cottage. There, having met an old lady, the pervert said that he had forgotten to take a shovel to dig up beds. The woman generously lent him a tool.

Returning to the crime scene, Burtsev buried his body and threw a shovel nearby. All material evidence was discovered the next day. Police walked along the path of the killer, not even suspecting it. At one of the summer cottages, law enforcement authorities interrogated an old woman, who described the killer in all details: from hair color to the model of the bicycle on which the killer arrived. The novel was arrested, and now the investigators had to find out all the nuances of the crimes. As well as information about where he hid the bodies of children.

Interrogation

During the interrogation, Burtsev Roman - Kamensky Chikatilo, as the police and the press dubbed him, was not going to give a confession. Investigators needed to find out the burial places. To work with a pervert, they invited a leading specialist in the field of psychiatry A. Bukhanovsky. It was he who composed the portrait of Chikatilo, indicated age, marital status and helped in the capture of the maniac.

Professor Alexander Olimpievich conducted lengthy conversations with the pedophile, and finally he gave up. Burtsev showed the places where he hid the bodies of the victims. In addition to the last murder, Roman hid other corpses under the mountains of garbage in landfills and memorized every detail in detail. To seize the remains, the police needed heavy artillery - an excavator.

The victims of the pedophile were buried very deeply, one of the bodies was three meters deep. When the evidence was collected, the case went to court.

Punishment

During the trial, the killer begged on his knees for clemency and said: "I want to live a little longer, look at this world." But, creating bloody atrocities, raping and killing children, the maniac was well aware that the verdict would not be subject to change.

Roman Burtsev was recognized by the judicial board of psychiatrists, among whom was Alexander Bukhanovsky, sane. In addition, the psychiatrist revealed a very interesting pathology. The maniac killed his victims, posing as a cinema villain. Before the first crime, the pedophile drew inspiration from erotic films and horror films. It gave him sexual pleasure to turn the victims on his stomach and pinch his mouth and nose with his palm. The killer was fully aware of his actions from beginning to end, getting rid of the evidence with composure.

Pedophile was convicted of g, e, s, and art. 102, part 4, article 117, Art. 120, part 2 of article 144 of the Criminal Code of the RSFSR. In February 1997, the court passed a sentence - the death penalty by execution. But they could not carry it out. In April of that year, a moratorium was introduced. The exceptional sentence was replaced by a more humane one, namely, life imprisonment.

Now the killer is serving his term in Solikamsk. PKU IK-2 is called the “White Swan” and is one of the prisons with the most severe prison conditions.

Conclusion

The 90s were a terrible period for all residents of the Rostov region. First, pedophile A. Chikatilo showed up, after - the serial killer V. Mukhankin, then - maniac Yu. Tsyuman, who was nicknamed the "Black Panther", and Roman Burtsev added the list of perverts. “Criminal Russia” in the series of programs “Modern Chronicles” illuminated the thoughts and actions of each of these monsters, but, which was the true cause of pathologies, to this day remains a mystery.
