Hello and welcome to Outlaw Podcast. I'm Eleanor Neal and in today's episode, we're in Russia in 2010,

where one of the country's worst ever serial killers is finally being detained after an

eight-year long reign of terror over the region. The killer known as the Krasnufimsk Maniac had

claimed the lives of 17 people and even left taunting messages at some of the crime scenes.

The whole nation was shocked when the killer was exposed to be a local mother.

Now she is known not by her name, but as Satan in a skirt.

Russia's worst ever female serial killer.

Outlaw.

Irina Guidemichuk started her days just like any other mother.

She woke up, she helped her daughter get ready for school and saw her husband off to work,

and then she would leave for work herself. Only, Arina's whole life was one big lie.

She didn't actually have a job.

While her husband thought that she was off working in a bank,

she was visiting the elderly in their local area.

But not to offer help or to do anything good,

she didn't get the name Satan in a skirt for no reason.

What she spent her days doing for eight years straight was a work of pure evil.

Now, before I get any further, I do want to warn you that this episode will cover sensitive topics,

including addiction, violence, rape and murder.

So viewer discretion is always advised.

Irina Viktorovna Giedemichuk was born in 1972 in Yakaterinburg, Russia. But at the time,

during the Soviet Union, it was called Sferlovsk. Arena's childhood, honestly, seemed quite lonely.
