HE MADE FACES AND LAUGHED IN COURT
During the trial, the killer behaved inappropriately, made faces and laughed. Later, he began to hide his face, turning away from the cameras, and he also asked the court for solitary confinement. He is charged with Part 1 of Art. 105 of the Criminal Code of the Russian Federation, the investigator asked to arrest him for two months.
“I fully support the investigation’s request. I fully admit my guilt. And the only thing I want to ask you for is solitary confinement,” Varakin said. At the trial, the killer could not even remember when he committed the crimes.
At the same time, the maniac’s lawyer petitioned for a ban on certain actions as a preventive measure, considering the measure of detention to be harsh. The maniac's defender emphasized that Varakin had no previous convictions and had undergone compulsory treatment; based on this, the lawyer is filing a petition for house arrest.
FIRST CRIMES
Migrant Alexey Varakin, 37 years old, did not work and was without Russian citizenship. Varakin was already convicted in 2010 for the murder of two girls in St. Petersburg, presumably the same prostitutes. After this incident, he was assigned to a special psychiatric hospital for people with a criminal past, and later Varakin was transferred to a hospital with “calm” patients.
After 13 years, he was discharged, but Varakin did not stay free for long, committing a double murder in a short period of freedom.
Unlike the same “Angara maniac,” who is known as the most brutal serial killer in Russian history, Varakin did not attribute his crimes to a “higher purpose.” His motivation was only his own mental disorders, which manifested themselves when his victims refused to have sex with him.
AGAIN FOR THE KNIFE AFTER 13 YEARS
Varakin’s first victim on the night of December 22, 2023 was 40-year-old Olga; he killed her in one of the hotels in the east of Moscow. According to one version, the reason for the massacre could have been prohibited substances ; the woman gave them to her future killer, after which he flew into a rage and beheaded his victim. According to the second version, which the maniac himself adheres to, Olga refused him intimate relations, which is why he dealt with her.
A day later, according to SHOT, on the night of December 24, Varakin turned to another sex worker to “relieve stress after the first murder.” Again, versions of the motive for the murder vary. According to one version, the maniac failed again; he was unable to have sexual intercourse with the girl. In turn, the girl, according to Varakin, began to laugh at him and insult him, after which the maniac dealt with her. According to the second, the prostitute raised the prices for her services, although they had already agreed on everything earlier, Varakin was not very happy with this, and he decided to kill the girl.
Thus, the second victim was 25-year-old Vladislava, whom Varakin stabbed several times in the neck.
At first, Vlada managed to lock herself in the next room and video call her friend so that she could call for help. The doctors who arrived at the scene already had to confirm the girl’s death - it was too late to save, and Vlada died from her wounds. Varakin was unable to escape from the apartment; only the owner of the rented apartment could open the combination lock. The killer also cut himself, apparently in order to plead self-defense. The maniac's wounds were not fatal, and he was detained.
ARRANGED A “SEX TOUR” FOR MYSELF
During interrogation, Varakin admitted that he lived in St. Petersburg, Samara, and Ivanovo, noting that on these “tours” around the cities he was looking for a bride. In addition, according to the serial killer, he searched for a bride, taking part in numerous orgies, going to swinger parties and picking up girls of easy virtue.
Currently, law enforcement agencies are looking to see if the maniac had other victims in these cities. In the meantime, there is no official confirmation of the version of the bloody sex tour.
WON'T GO TO JAIL?
According to a psychiatrist who is a member of the commission for forensic psychiatric examination, “mentally ill people who have committed illegal acts end up in specialized psychiatric hospitals with intensive supervision, and not in correctional colonies. They are sent there not by sentence, but by court decision. Before that, they undergo a forensic psychiatric examination.”
“Usually, high-profile criminal cases are still considered by Serbsky; an error in diagnosis is excluded here,” the expert noted.
In addition, the doctor believes that the duration of Varakin’s treatment will depend on his diagnosis, and not on the severity of the crimes. Moreover, the criminal can be released only by decision of a medical commission.
“The question here, of course, is why Varakin was released just 13 years after the previous crimes. Whose fault or oversight is this? They usually try to keep murderers or maniacs as much as possible,” the expert concluded.
Department of the Investigative Committee of Russia for the city of Moscow opened a criminal case under the article “murder”.
Serial maniac Varakin continues to be an object of interest to the public. His motives for crimes and mental state raise many questions and require further study and analysis. Whether he will go for treatment or this time he will be given a life sentence is still unknown.
