Sex maniacs occupy a special place among serial killers. These criminals amaze with their cruelty, often completely meaningless. In the heat of their bloody excitement, such killers seem to lose everything human and are not able to stop. It is precisely in this category that Tsyuman, Yuri Leonidovich, has committed the murder of five young girls and has become famous throughout the country under the ominous pseudonym Chernokolotochnik.
How to grow a maniac - "instruction"
In the biography of many "famous" criminal elements, there is a place for a story about a difficult childhood. Yuri Tsyuman is no exception. He was born in 1969 in the southern city of Taganrog. The family did not differ in wealth, but more often did live from paycheck to paycheck. Yura's father was a drunken alcoholic and often showed cruelty to children.
During interrogations, an adult Yuri Leonidovich Tsyuman will recall that his parents always aroused only fear in him, but not love and respect. Children (the future criminal had a brother) were brought up in severity. But at the same time, not only his father, but also his mother did not differ in high moral qualities.
When the husband became seriously ill, the woman also began to abuse alcohol, ceased to devote time and attention to children, unashamedly, changed her drinking buddies and roommates. At the same time, Yura grew up as a fairly calm child. During walks, he often sat at the entrance, sometimes neighbors trusted him to deal with young children.
Brief biography of Blackfin
After graduating from school, Tsyuman, Yuri Leonidovich graduated from vocational school, served in the army and got a job at the factory. All people personally familiar with the criminal claimed that he was always calm, inconspicuous and quiet. Yuri always read a lot, choosing works of art of various genres, and had a reputation as an intellectual. However, behind the mask of a passive and erudite person, various complexes were hidden.
Tsuman was shy of his own body all his life. He could not complain about the lack of success in women, but his first sexual experience was negative. Even before the start of the criminal “career”, Yuri had his secret passion, he really liked thriller films with vivid scenes of violence. Tsyuman even specially connected himself cable TV in order not to miss new products.
First crimes
It is worth noting that according to various sources, Yuri Leonidovich Tsuman is a maniac who killed 4 or 5 girls. It is believed that he committed his first crime in 1986. Being intoxicated, Yuri walked down the street late at night and saw the same lonely girl. Without unnecessary words and conversations, the maniac attacked his casual victim, began to beat, threaten and try to undress. The girl decided to save herself by cunning and invited the rapist to her home. However, on the way to a strange couple, no one met, and the apartment was empty.
Behind the closed door, the maniac tied, raped and beat the girl, and then strangled her. After the crime, Yuri calmly opened the owner's refrigerator, had a bite, and then, collecting some valuable things, set fire and left the apartment. Due to the fire, many evidence was destroyed, and this case did not receive wide public resonance.
In 1990, Tsyuman Yuri Leonidovich commits a new crime, after which the appearance of a sexual maniac becomes known far beyond the borders of Taganrog. On the street, the criminal attacked a sixteen-year-old college student, after which he brutally raped and killed the unfortunate. The girl’s body with obvious signs of violent death was found in black tights, there were no other clothes and personal items at the crime scene.
"Night guest" goes hunting again
Very soon after the first "official" murder, another one was committed. The militia of the city immediately realized that a serial sex maniac was wound up in the region. The new victim is also a young girl (15 years old), found in black tights, there are no other clothes and jewelry. The killer was immediately dubbed the Black Pantyhose, and the unofficial name for the criminal case was given to “The Night Guest”.
It is worth noting that Taganrog is a small city. And rumors of a serial killer spread over him instantly. Women stopped wearing dark tights and tried not to go out alone at all, parents especially worried about teenage girls. But, despite all these precautions, Tsyuman Yuri Leonidovich committed two more murders.
Investigation and Accidental Arrest
It is noteworthy that Tsuman began his bloody hunt just during the trial of the most famous USSR maniac Andrei Chikatilo. As soon as it became clear that in Taganrog the police were dealing with a serial killer, the best professionals from Rostov joined in the investigation. Psychiatrist Alexander Bukhanovsky and investigator Viktor Burakov personally dealt with the Chikatilo case, they also took up the capture of the Black Pantyhose.
Unlike his predecessor, Yuri Tsuman left many traces. Already in the middle of the investigation, the detectives knew his blood type, had hair samples and fingerprints. During the operational-search measures checked all the men in the city. Employees dressed in civilian clothes and always in black tights were constantly on duty on the street.
But Tsyuman, Yuri Leonidovich, whose biography was full of not the most pleasant events, as if he had an animal instinct and deftly avoided such "baits." The Black Pantyhose was detained by accident. After the last murder, he committed two assassination attempts, and during the second, random witnesses were vigilant. No one expected success with a statement of ordinary "street harassment." But just in case, the detainee was checked, and the results of the examination were all amazed.
Maniac Confession
During interrogations, Tsuman changed his testimony several times. He talked in colors about his difficult life and crimes committed, then tried to seem insane. However, this behavior is not surprising, because at the time of the arrest, Yuri was only 23 years old. At the moment of recognition of the crimes committed, the detainee expressed his regrets and repented.
At that time, Tsuman kept a diary, in which he colorfully described his experiences. What is curious, in his revelations, remorse was often mixed up with self-pity and awareness of his own worthlessness.
Sentence and Punishment
On February 11, 1994, Yuri Tsyuman was sentenced to capital punishment - the death penalty. There was no need to wait for another court decision, but the convict himself, until the verdict was announced, asked for pardon and hoped for a more favorable outcome. However, in a sense, “luck” smiled at him, since at that time a moratorium on the death penalty had already entered into force.
Accordingly, the execution was replaced by a life sentence in a maximum security colony. Where was transferred after the announcement of the verdict Tsyuman Yuri Leonidovich, where does Chernokolotochnik live today? Indeed, the serial maniac is still serving his term and is nowadays in the Black Dolphin colony. An interesting fact: in 2011, the convict appealed to the Supreme Court of the Russian Federation with a request to cancel the decision to replace the death penalty with a life term, but was refused.
Is the serial killer a superstar?
Tsyuman Yuri Leonidovich, Chernokolgotovodnik, under no circumstances will not be free again. In the zone, it is believed that with such articles you can leave the camera only with your feet forward. Many years have passed since he committed a series of terrible crimes. Even the indigenous inhabitants of Taganrog forget all that horror, but journalists do not lose interest in the Black Pantyhose.
When the sentence was passed against Yury Leonidovich Tsyuman, all Russian newspapers reacted with “revealing” articles. It is also worth noting that a lively and “famous” maniac who can be interviewed is still a rarity for our country. Several times reporters for documentaries filmed Zyuman.
The following programs aired: “A look from within. Russian psychiatrist "," The investigation was ... "Chernokolotochnik", "Chikatilo's heirs" and "Legends of the Soviet detective. What is valuable, some of the films listed do contain an interview with Yuri Tsuman himself.
