Chikatilo was born on 16 October 1936 in Yablochnoye, a small village in the Kharkov Oblast of the Ukrainian SSR. His father, Roman Chikatilo, was a decorated veteran of the Second World War who had been awarded the Order of the Red Star for his service in the Battle of Stalingrad. His mother, Anna Chikatilo, was a peasant woman who had been born in a village near Yablochnoye. Chikatilo was a shy and socially awkward child who was frequently bullied by his peers. He was also a poor student who was frequently in trouble with his teachers. In 1954, he graduated from high school and was accepted into the Moscow Aviation Institute. However, he was expelled from the institute after two years due to poor academic performance. In 1960, Chikatilo married a woman named Fayina and the couple had two children. In 1971, he was accepted into the Rostov State University and graduated with a degree in Russian literature in 1977. In 1978, Chikatilo began his killing spree. He targeted mostly young women and children, whom he would lure to secluded areas with promises of money or alcohol. He would then rape, strangle, and mutilate his victims before disposing of their bodies. Chikatilo was arrested in November 1990 and confessed to 52 murders. He was convicted of 52 counts of murder and sentenced to death in October 1992. He was executed by firing squad in February 1994.

Timeline

1992

His trial opened on April 14, 1992, with victims' relatives screaming for retribution. Chikatilo acted like a raving maniac throughout the trial, rolling his eyes, moving back and forth, contorting his face and hurling curses at spectators and the judge, among others.

On October 14, 1992, Andrei Chikatilo was convicted of 52 murders -- one charge was dropped for lack of evidence -- and five counts of child molestation. The next day he was given 52 death sentences and taken to Novocherkassk Prison in the Rostov-on-Don region of Russia.

1990

He was finally captured on November 20, 1990, when a policeman noticed him acting suspiciously at a railroad station, detained him, and further investigation revealed that he had just committed three murders. Chikatilo confessed to 55 killings -- although due to the initial indifference and incompetence of the authorities it's been estimated that he likely committed at least twice that many before he was finally caught -- but was charged with only 53.

1978

By the end of 1978 Chikatilo had murdered his first victim, Lena Zakotnova, in Shankty, Russia. He didn't kill again for three years, but over the next nine years he tortured, murdered and cannibalized at least 51 more women and children. Russian authorities at first refused to believe that a serial killer could operate in their midst -- that sort of thing only occurred in degenerate capitalist societies -- but Chikatilo's victims began turning up so often and in so many places that the authorities finally were forced to admit that a monster was indeed loose among them. A task force consisting of the best homicide detectives in the country was assigned to hunt down and capture the killer (although they had no idea it was Chikatilo).

1965

They had two children, a daughter Ludmilla in 1965 and a son Yuri in 1969. Chikatilo graduated from Rostov University and became a teacher for a brief time, but he was eventually caught molesting some students, which led to his expulsion from the profession.

1963

However, in 1963 his younger sister Taytana introduced him to a friend of hers named Fayina. Things clicked, and he and Fayina married that same year.

1936

Andrei Chikatilo was one of the world's most prolific and barbaric serial killers. Born on October 16, 1936, in the Ukraine, he witnessed the devastation of his country at the onset of World War II.

1930

His mother Anna repeatedly told him of an older brother, Stephan, who had been murdered and cannibalized during the Ukrainian famine in the 1930s, in which it is estimated that several million died. Although he was extremely tall and attractive, Chikatilo was always shy with girls and believed himself to be impotent.
