Durlești Maniac

The Durlești Maniac is the alias attributed to an unidentified serial killer who shot six people to death in Moldova from 2007 to 2011.

Victims

Ştefan Chiorescu and Razan Djaniev On July 30, 2007, Ştefan Chiorescu and Razan Djaniev were walking through a vineyard that they owned when they were fired at by the killer with a shotgun. Chiorescu was shot in the throat and died soon after while Djaniev was shot in the chest and survived.

A man named Andrei Crăciun was convicted of the crime but later acquitted.

Another attack also occurred in 2009. The killer broke into a man's car with a gun. Fortunately, the owner of the car was able to escape without any injuries. It is believed that he was able to escape because the crime happened in a residential area rather than an isolated area like the former attacks.

Subsequent attack In May 2011, another couple were attacked in their car near a lake in laloveni. The killer smashed their car windows and shot at them. Both people in the car managed to escape alive, with the man being shot in the back as he ran away.

Miron was sentenced to 23 years in prison for murdering his wife, but there was never enough evidence to charge him in any of the Durlești murders. The gun he used to murder his wife was never found either.

Gheorghe Inculeţ Gheorghe Inculeţ was a mentally ill murderer who killed his sister and her two-year-old child. He was admitted to a psychiatric hospital, but escaped on April 11, 2007.

Inculeţ later became a suspect in the murders but it was discovered that he died outside of the Republican Hospital in Chisinau on April 13, 2007, but remained unidentified until May 2012.

Description of the suspect The suspect is described as having short brown hair, wore military clothes and boots with short laces, and wielded his weapon easily. He is also tall, was between 35 and 40 during the murders, and had an athletic build. The suspect also repeatedly used the word "suka" (сука).

The suspect also may live or work in Buiucani.
