Alexander Nedorezkov

Alexander Viktorovich Nedorezkov (; 1980 – 26 October 2005), known as The Rampant Maniac , was a Russian serial killer, mass murderer and rapist who committed five, possibly seven, murders in Perm, Perm Krai between July to August 2005. Due to the fact that the killings occurred shortly after his release from prison, the case garnered outrage and discussion about the lax treatment of violent recidivist offenders.

Following his arrest, Nedorezkov confessed to all the murders, additionally claiming responsibility for two other murders which were never conclusively verified. Before he could be put on trial, however, Nedorezkov hanged himself in a pre-trial detention center.

Early life Alexander Nedorezkov was born in Perm, Perm Oblast in 1980, and had one sister. From an early age, the young Nedorezkov exhibited destructive and deviant behavior towards others—according to him, he would catch stray cats, torture them, and then kill them. He had no interest in studying and had a reputation as a bully, due to which he was despised by both his peers and school staff alike.

With the exception of periods when he was serving prison sentences, Nedorezkov spent the entirety of his life in Zakamsk, a microdistrict located in the Kirovsky City District on the right bank of the Kama River.

After serving the sentence in full, Nedorezkov spent only approximately a month in liberty before being arrested for causing grievous bodily harm to another person. He was again found guilty and convicted, but despite the fact that he was a repeat offender, Nedorezkov was given another lenient sentence of only 3 years imprisonment. Nedorezkov claimed that this accident led to him arguing with the older man, asking him why he couldn't just walk around. In response, Slastunov supposedly started swearing at him. Angered, Nedorezkov struck him with a glass bottle he was carrying, causing Slastunov to fall to the ground. He then continued to beat him repeatedly with a pine stick, and in order to finish him off, Nedorezkov strangled the man with his own shirt.

Following this, Nedorezkov went in the adjacent room, where he struck Valuev several times on the head with the dumbbell and then stabbed him in the torso with a kitchen knife. As a result, the criminal case against him was dismissed.

Criticism Nedorezkov's capture led to severe criticism of the judicial system. The most notable of these was from Pavel Fadeev, deputy head of the Perm City Internal Affairs Directorate, who stated that the courts' leniency despite the escalating nature of Nedorezkov's crimes demonstrated an alarming incompetence and necessitated a re-evaluation of how to study and deal with recidivism.

In the media and culture Nedorezkov's crimes were covered on the episode "Sexual maniac Nedorezkov" from the documentary series "Call 02" , released in 2005.
