俄史上最变态狂魔:他自曝强暴杀死50多女子
绰号「狼人」的俄罗斯西伯利亚前警员波科夫,四年前被裁定强姦及谋杀廿二名女子罪成,判囚终身监禁。经警方不断调查搜证,这名狂魔近日自揭涉及更多兇杀案,估计新案件或多达五十宗。如属实他将成为俄罗斯史上杀人最多的变态连环杀手,亦面临新的审讯。 五十一岁的波科夫(Mikhail Popkov)在一九九○至二○○○年代期间,在伊尔库茨克市一带谋杀了廿二名女人。 裸尸丢弃树林中 波科夫又透露利用警员的身份,晚上驾车向陌生女子「下手」,诱骗她们上车,并带到偏僻的地方施暴,再用斧头、利刀及螺丝刀残杀她们,更曾将受害人的心脏挖出来。完事后,他把裸尸丢弃在马路旁的树林中。 及至一二年,他被警方拘捕,被判终身监禁。警方调查期间,波科夫非常合作,带警方到弃尸地方,透露犯案时间及死者伤势等。 驾车市区寻猎物 起初,警方判断他的屠杀行动止于二○○○年。但随着新证据逐步浮现,波科夫近日招认涉及更多兇案,并带领警方去新的犯案及埋尸现场。因案件仍在调查当中,警方拒透露受害人确实人数,但有估计指与波科夫有关的新案件或高达五十宗。 据指,波科夫经常驾车到市内的安加尔斯克(Angarsk)和海参崴一带寻找猎物。他被捕后透露希望「清洗街上的妓女」,又承认对晚上出外饮酒的女子有负面印象。有指,他犯案动机始于有一天,在家中找到两个已用的避孕套,认定妻子「偷食」,故杀害女人洩愤。 妻女相信其清白 不过,波科夫的妻子埃琳娜,去年四月在波科夫案上诉时接受当地传媒访问,四十八岁的埃琳娜表示和丈夫结婚廿八年,无可能察觉不到他有异样,又相信他是清白。她指多年来波科夫未曾伤害过她,亦在她和女儿面前否认有杀人,称是官僚制度造成。当时廿七岁的女儿亦扬言坚信爸爸无辜,声言要当一名犯罪学家,还他一个清白。惟母女二人自今年初已没有探望波科夫,目前已迁离安加尔斯克,搬到另一城市开始新生活。
