In March 1989, 52-year-old Andre Chiquatillo walked through the frigid air of Shakti,

a Soviet city in southern USSR.

Despite the cold, he decided to take a detour home, past the railway station.

The roundabout route wasn't aimless.

He was looking for something.

And when his eyes locked on 16-year-old Tanya Rojova, he knew he'd found it.

She had dirty hair, tattered clothes, and the hollow look of someone who would do anything for a

Andre offered Tanya some booze, and through her drunken haze, she agreed to follow

him to his daughter's apartment. There he had the run of the place. Once they were alone, he pushed

Tanya to the living room floor and tried to have sex with her. At first, she tolerated the advance,

but soon it became clear Andre couldn't perform. As he grew visibly frustrated, alarm bells

went off in Tanya's mind. If he couldn't have sex, why did he lure her into his apartment?

Now she wanted out. She yelled and threatened to call the police. Andre pleaded with her to be quiet, but she only grew louder.

Desperate to stop her screaming, he grabbed a folding knife and slashed it across her mouth.

Tanya, frozen in shock, finally fell silent. The blood pouring down her neck sparked something in

Andre. He stabbed Tanya until he climaxed. Andre hadn't killed indoors in a long

time and wasn't used to hiding a body, but when he noticed one of his daughter's thick kitchen knives,

he knew what he had to do. And if he was to finish quickly, he needed to start sawing.
