On 21 March 1996, the Rostov Regional Court judge Mikhail Rebrov sentenced Vladimir Krishtopa to execution by firing squad.
But soon, a moratorium was imposed on its application, and the criminal who was already on death row in Novocherkassk was resentenced to 25 years in prison.
[2][3] When Krishtopa was in cell number 117 of the Novocherkassk prison, his neighbour was notorious serial killer Vladimir Mukhankin.
Subsequently, while giving an interview for the television programme "Criminal Russia", Mukhankin said the following: There, in the 117th [cell], stayed Krishtopa.
Because if a man weren't a maniac, he would not have gnawed his noses over there, nor would he sucked out there from the breasts over there, nor from the vagina, nor would he kill the little children, nor would not rape them over there, nor adults, nor especially grannies.
