The details of the horrifying crimes committed by a Russian rapist and murderer caught this past April are beginning to come to light, with the latest update that he stabbed his last victim 40 times. The 34-year-old man, identified as Alexey Falkin, was apprehended for the murder of a 30-year-old mother. He later confessed to killing three other women, as well as raping another eight, including two underage schoolgirls.
According to The Sun, Falkin, who came to be infamously known as 'The Urals Ripper' after the Russian region where he committed the rapes and murders, operated over a period of 13 years between 2004 and 2017. His modus operandi was to allegedly attack and sexually assault women under the cover of darkness and threaten them with murder if they resisted.
