MOSCOW (BBC News) - His mother blamed the killing spree on a childhood bang on the head. The Russian man known as the "chessboard killer," Alexander Pichushkin, will be sentenced on Thursday after a jury in Moscow found him guilty killing 48 people and attempting to murder three others. During the six-week trial at Moscow City Court, Pichushkin confessed to murdering more than 60 people in a killing spree which lasted more than a decade.  If this figure is eventually confirmed by investigators, it would make Pichushkin the deadliest serial killer in Russian history and one of the world's worst.  Prosecutors have called for him to be locked up for the rest of his life in a solitary cell in a maximum security prison.
