MOSCOW (BBC News) - A court here has sentenced serial killer Alexander Pichushkin, known to the Russian media as the "Bittsa maniac", to life imprisonment. The Russian shop assistant was found guilty of 48 murders, which he once said he recorded on a chessboard. Most of the murders were committed over five years in Bittsa Park, in Moscow's southern suburbs.  Pichushkin has never denied the charges. He was also found guilty on three counts of attempted murder. Pichushkin began his 14-year killing spree in Moscow in 1992, and was arrested in June 2006. His victims were drowned in a sewer or bludgeoned to death with a hammer, investigators say. Pichushkin originally said he planned to carry out 64 killings, one for each square on a chessboard.
