Vasiliy Kulik

Vasiliy Kulik

Vasiliy Kulik (January 17, 1956 in Irkutsk Oblast, Russia - 1990s) was a Russian serial killer responsible for the murders of 13 people (children and elderly women) in Irkutsk between 1984 and 1986.

Early life

Vasiliy Kulik was born in Irkutsk Oblast, Russia to an aristocratic family. His father was a doctor of Biological Sciences and writer, his mother a school-headmistress. [http://policing.ru/history/215/] A few years later, Kulik left home and began work as a medic in the "Irkutsk Emergency Station". [http://graal.3bb.ru/viewtopic.php?id=52] He married and had three sons.

After his arrest, the police interviewed the Kulik family. His mother told the police that her son had grown weak and had developed a limp. She said that her son had tortured animals as a child, and that he had assumed a dominant male persona in his manner of dress and in his interests. His sisters reported that he was selfish and cruel. Kulik grew up in an unstable environment and, when his father died, tried to commit suicide.

Kulik became sexually active at an early age and had many girlfriends. In school, he had been involved with a girl but became depressed after she moved to another city. At age 20, he started pursuing older, married women, but was frequently rejected.

In 1980, Kulik wrote a novel in which the main character forms a relationship with a nine-year-old girl with the sole purpose of having sex with her.

Murders

In 1984, he drugged, raped and strangled an elderly woman he encountered on the street. His second victim was an eight-year-old girl. The third was a 53-year-old woman whom he killed with a gun and a kitchen knife.

His other victims included six children, aged seven months to two years, and seven elderly women (the oldest was 75).

Arrest and execution

On January 17, 1986 (his birthday), [http://killer.hut.ru/galrus8.htm] Kulik was arrested and eventually convicted of 13 murders. He was sentenced to death by firing squad on August 11, 1988. [http://www.pretich.narod.ru/criminal/kulik.htm] The police never revealed when he was executed, but it was sometime in the 1990s.
