Yevgeny Litovchenko

Yevgeny Anatolyevich Litovchenko (Russian: Евгений Анатольевич Литовченко; Ukrainian: Євген Анатолійович Литовченко, romanized: Yevhen Anatoliiovych Lytovchenko) is a Ukrainian murderer, serial rapist and suspected serial killer. The prime suspect in at least 4 murders and a series of rapes in Leningrad Oblast, Russia, from 2006 to 2014, he was detained by Russian authorities and confessed to the crimes, but escaped during an investigative experiment on June 6, 2014.

A month after this, Litovchenko murdered a girl in Kyiv, Ukraine, for which he was tried, convicted and sentenced to life imprisonment. Following his conviction, the Russian government requested for his extradition, but this never occurred due to the subsequent breakdown of diplomatic relations between the two countries. As a result, he was never prosecuted for the crimes he committed on Russian territory.
