Andrei Roldugin

Following his release from prison, Roldugin moved into his mother's apartment. Not long after, he resumed abducting and raping, this time focusing on teenagers within the city of Voronezh. On March 15, 2002, he encountered 15-year-old Marina Danilyants while she was walking to her school and convinced her to accompany him by telling her that he wanted to show her some puppies. Roldugin then lured her to a grove outside the Northern car market, where he raped and strangled her. By that time, her family and friends had started searching for her after Danilyants did not come to school. Later that day, her body was found dumped in a storm drain not far from her house.

Roldugin committed his first crime at age 17, when he was convicted of robbery, but was paroled two years later for good behavior. Beginning in 1996, he started abducting and raping women in the Povorinsky District of Voronezh, but was never arrested for these crimes as the victims refused to go to police. A year later, he was convicted of theft and sentenced to five years imprisonment, but was paroled early for good behavior on September 3, 2001.

At the subsequent interviews, Roldugin initially denied his guilt before confessing not only to the three murders, but also to a total of nine rapes he had committed since 1996. When pressed for a reason to why he started killing, he claimed that it was much easier to have sexual intercourse with a body after the victim had died. His guilt was further solidified when he showed where he had dumped Sanina's body. As a result, Roldugin was charged with three counts of murder, nine counts of rape and several counts of robbery and kidnapping.
