| Killer: Tamara Samsonova, 68, nicknamed the 'Granny Ripper' was 'obsessed' with serial killer Andrei Chikatilo. She has been remanded in custody accused of killing and dismembering 11 people |
A
serial-killer Russian pensioner who confessed in her diary to 11 murders
was 'obsessed' with notorious Soviet murderer Andrei Chikatilo, aka the
'Red Ripper', it was revealed today.
Tamara Samsonova, 68, nicknamed the 'Granny Ripper', killed then dismembered her lodgers over a period of 20 years or more.
Police are investigating whether she also ate human organs from her victims, and she is currently undergoing psychiatric checks.
The fear is now that Samsonova modelled herself on the notorious Chikatilo, who was executed in 1994.
He
was the Soviet Union's worst-ever 'maniac', a bloodthirsty 'vampire'
who murdered, sexually assaulted and cannibalised at least 52 in a reign
of terror stretching over a dozen years.
This
psychopath violated the bodies of his victims, chopping off their
tongues, bursting their eardrums, and gouging out their eyes which, he
feared, had memorised his image.
