Killing for kicks - youths confess to 21 murders

In Ukraine, three young men who went on a month-long killing spree have been charged with murdering 21 people. The violent attacks plunged the eastern city of Dnepropetrovsk into a vortex of fear in the summer of 2007. The three, who are now 20 years old, were teenagers at the time they allegedly battered their victims with hammers and pipes.

Rumours of a maniac killing both young and old paralysed Dnepropetrovsk, one of the largest cities in Ukraine. Police, however, linked the reign of terror to a group of teenagers.

Theyre not revealing how they caught them but, with mobile phone footage of some of the murders, officers have little doubt of the identity of the criminals.

We think they were doing it as a hobby, to have a collection of memories when they get old, said Detective Bogdan Vlasenko.

The former classmates have been behind bars for almost a year now and its believed they've pleaded guilty to all the murders.

They are thought to have used iron pipes and hammers on their victims. Mobile phone footage also suggests they practised on cats first.

They all come from prosperous families and have allegedly admitted they committed the crimes just for fun.

Detectives say they the killers werent targeting anyone in particular. They just picked up people who looked like they wouldnt fight back.

You see, no one would fear for their life when these boys were offering them a ride, said Ivan Stypak, Chief Police Officer of the Dnepropetrovsk region.

However, the parents of the suspects refuse to believe their children could be killers. They insist their children were forced to confess their guilt.

Then rip off thier intestines, Then take a video of it all and send it to the 21 families. :) Please like.

Fucking stupid parents. Have they not seen the pictures with their faces in it? In the 3g1h video, it's completely obvious. Stupid, stupid parents. Accept that your children are fucking monsters.

These types of bullshit makes me wish that ww3 will be deadly to mankind because there is millions of other people like that and nothing will change ... This world is so cold ...

Simply knowing that there are people like the Dnepropetrovsk maniacs in this world is enough to make me cry. I feel so deeply sorry for the people affected by these murders and cruel acts. It's so incredibly disheartening.

@konikitty you obviously don't have kids. But TRY and see it from the parents perspective for a second. Who could possible want to accept the fact that their children are sadistic, psychopathic serial killers? Even with the video that went viral on the internet, they still don't want to believe it. It doesn't even make any sense why you're attacking the parents when they weren't behind any of this. Stupid troll.

This is the kind of shit that makes me support the death penalty. And I'm not talking about soft, American styles like lethal injection, I'm talking about fuckin' crucifixions, folks! I think we should bring back some old school executions for people like this. Then we can truly say we went medieval on their ass!

hope they get killed themselves

@konikitty in russia family is the most important thing there is. they are just in complete denial

[StuntinLykmydadDy]

What needs to happen is they should be tortured every single day of their lives but not die so they can suffer and feel it ...

[bobeyun]

@konikitty calling them monsters is an understatement. they werent supposed to been born by any chance. manson family had at least sum kinda fuqed up beliefs those murders they committed is just unacceptable and terribly sad that here is where we stand today. im just heart-broken.

That's the problem....parents who have no clue. Don't want to hear what a "nice" kid he is. Nice kids don't murder helpless animals and people for kicks. That's as evil as it gets. I hope they execute them! That will make sure they don't kill again. Life in prison for murderers? Why? Their victim doesn't have a life. Teenagers today have become desensitized thanks to Hollywood and the video games. YouTube should come down hard and so should the law. Otherwise...it's going to get worse
