Nikolai Tymoshenko

Nikolai Andreyevich Tymoshenko (; born 1970), known as The Fatinsky Maniac , is a Belarusian serial killer who killed at least three women in the Mogilev Region from 1999 to 2010. He was found guilty of the respective crimes, and was sentenced to two life terms.

Murders First known murder Tymoshenko's first known murder was committed between May and June 1999. During that time frame, he met a young woman aged between 18 and 20 years old in the village of , offering to take her to his dacha to relax and have a drink. The woman offered to pay all expenses, as she reportedly earned 2 million rubles.

After spending some time drinking together, Tymoshenko asked the woman if she could share some of her money with him, to which she categorically refused. Angered, Tymoshenko grabbed her and starting pushing her, causing the woman to hit her head against a nearby wall. He made a living by doing odd jobs, most notably butchering pigs at a slaughterhouse, but once his elderly mother died, Tymoshenko stopped working overall. Residents regarded him as a "quiet alcoholic" and loner who spent most of his time drinking and refusing to interact with others at all. Around that time, a husband and wife found a bag containing ribs and a spine but mistook them for dog meat. The couple took the ribs home, cooked and ate them before throwing away the bones the following morning. In the evening, the couple were visited by policemen, who informed them that the remains they had eaten were human. Two years after his conviction, he contacted the Prosecutor's Office and unexpectedly confessed to the 1999 murder. Authorities were dispatched to the location in Amkhavaya 2 as indicated by him and soon unearthed skeletal human remains.
