Vladimir Draganer

The subsequent forensic psychiatric examination concluded that Draganer was sane, did not suffer from a mental disorder and was clearly aware of his actions. On July 18, 2001, he was given life imprisonment by the Volgograd Regional Court. His accomplices were sentenced to similar long terms of imprisonment.

Since March 8, 1999, Draganer committed three murders of girls with extreme cruelty, inflicting over 50 stab wounds on one of his victims. However, he never raped or robbed his victims, taking only symbolic things (such as jewelry) as trophies. In the summer of 1999, for the first time, one of the victims survived his attacks and gave a description of the criminal to the police, but that didn't help the investigators.

In late August 1999, the surviving victim accidentally noticed a photograph on the investigator's desk, in which the missing Ivan was in frame along with his buddy Vladimir Draganer, identifying the latter was the man who had attacked her. He was quickly detained while in the military, in the draft board. Draganer immediately admitted committing all of the crimes and implicated his accomplices, also accusing his mother of instilling a hatred of women in him. He had dreamed of taking revenge since childhood, so he killed his first victim on International Women's Day.

Vladimir Mikhailovich Draganer (born March 2, 1981 in Liubashivka, UkSSR), known as the Kamyshin Maniac, is a Ukrainian-Russian serial killer who committed his crimes in the city of Kamyshin, Volgograd Oblast.

Vladimir Draganer was born on March 2, 1981 in the village of Liubashivka, Odessa Oblast. Later on, he and his mother moved to the city of Kamyshin, where they settled on Bazarov Street. As a child, his mother humiliated him and severely beat Vladimir for the slightest offense. After graduating from school, Draganer entered Vocational School Number 14, where he studied in the Crime Commission. He dreamed of serving in the Russian Armed Forces, wanting to learn to use weapons without fear, using them to kill people, which was one of the reasons he committed his later murders.
