On April 1st 1999, a Ukrainian court of law convicted one of the most brutal serial killers in history for the murder of 52 people. Anatoli Onoprienko, 39, confessed the murders, but never showed any remorse: "I know it's cruel, but I'm a robot that's driven to kill. I don't feel a thing'. He was nicknamed 'The Terminator'.
Onoprienko killed most of his victims during the three months before he got arrested in April 1996. He traveled the country by train for three years and picked his victims by random. The children themselves were often horribly mutilated. He used fire weapons, knives, axes and hammers. The killings followed a set pattern. "The Terminator" chose isolated houses in the outskirts of villages. He would enter the houses before dawn, round up the family and shoot them all -- including children. Then he would torch the place and kill whoever crossed his path during his murderous outbursts. He often stole valuables from his victims and sometimes scattered family photographs about the floor. After each murder, he kept the underwear his victims wore. He regarded them as relics. Sometimes he even gave them to his girlfriend, Anna, as a present.
He claims he can recollect every single murder. "A soldier who kills during a war doesn't see who he hits. Someone who kills just a few times doesn't have any control; he can't analyze his actions. I can, because I've killed a lot. I perfectly remember; once I killed a couple and their three children in their car. I went to sit on the father, and I drove around the country with the five bodies. That was quite interesting."
Onoprienko stays insensitive and analyzes every single murder in a scientific way. He claims he never thought of himself as an ordinary killer, he always felt as a top-surgeon. "When you see it like that, I'm a very unique person. I did things nobody else does. These all were unique events."
April 1996, the police finally arrested Onoprienko, father of a little boy himself, at his girlfriend's house, after a nationwide manhunt. After being captured, the former sailor confessed he had already killed nine people in 1990.
Onoprienko's son looks up to him, but ever since he found out his dad's the serial killer; he becomes more and more aggressive. In an interview he said: "Killing someone with a knife is boring. One can better do it with bare hands, by strangling, or to fire a gun. It must be impressive to see the bullet fly and see it penetrate a body from a distance."
Unlike most serial killers, Onoprienko wasn't driven by any sexual motives during his killing journeys. Neither is he psychiatrically disturbed, but examinations prove that he's intelligent and fully sane. Some experts search for suitable motives in his miserable childhood. His mother died when he was four years old, and when he got seven, his father sent him to an orphanage. According to his ex-wife, Onoprienko also kills children to avoid them to end up in orphanages, like he did.
When he got 17, he became a sailor, and he met his future wife. On his sea trips, his merciless fantasies got shaped. Onoprienko himself claims he hasn't become a murderer by his own free will. "I've been chosen to fulfill a mission. In a way, I feel related with Messir, the hero from the Russian author Bulgakow's book. He was evil, and so am I. I did what I had to do: kill people. I don't owe any more explanation to my victims, their families and the police." He also claims he spoke to Hitler once, and that this one advised him to unchain a new world war.
Shortly after he got arrested, Onoprienko called himself a hostage, who had to be put on trial wrongly. He claimed the police should first track down the unknown force that drove him. He does admit that he looks forward to the gigantic attention of the press. He's been sentenced to death, but as Russia can't perform any capital punish ments anymore since it joined the Council of Europe, his punishment was replaced by a life sentence in the Zhytomyr prison, although Onoprienko himself wanted to be executed.
The fact that he killed 52 people is a neglectable detail to Onoprienko. "None of my victims resisted. Armed or not, man or woman, none of them dare to do anything. A human being doesn't mean anything. I've only seen weak people. I compare humans to sand-grains. There are so much of them that they don't mean a thing."
