October 31, 1965 - Mikhail Malyshev

Operating in the Russian city of Perm during the late 1990s, Malyshev was convicted of two murders involving dismemberment and cannibalism, with investigators suspecting him of as many as six additional similar crimes for which he was never formally charged. The full extent of his actions remained unresolved, leaving a pattern of suspected violence that the judicial record only partially captured.
