Markin committed his first theft at school - he was running late for class and, passing by the empty teacher's room, he saw someone's open bag, and in it - a purse in which there was money.
A month later, he again committed theft, stealing 120 rubles and giving them to his mother, claiming that he had found them on the road.
His people then brutally beat up Markin and threw him out into the cold, but he was miraculously saved by a prisoner who happened to pass by and became his friend after being released.
[1] After his release, Markin went to the town of Skopin in Ryazan Oblast, where his fellow colony friend lived.
He would always tell his wife that he was going on business trips, when in fact he was robbing people's apartments, bringing money and bags full of items home.
[1] In the spring of 1991 in Ryazan, Markin involuntarily crossed paths with the former cellmate Ryaby Ryabchikov, who was about to kill him.
However, everything turned out exactly the opposite, and together with his buddy Markin killed Ryabchikov with particular cruelty, enjoying the process.
Markin tied them up, raped the daughter-in-law, tortured the child to death, and then brutally killed the mother and grandmother, then set the house on fire.
While investigating the mass murder in Mokhovoye, one of the operatives drew attention to the children's swing near the house of Markin's mother-in-law, which had been tied into a sea knot.
Markin remained silent, but soon confessed under the weight of the evidence, talking cold-bloodedly and without regret about the murders.
