Confirmed victims: 52

Suspected victims: 52+

Country: Ukraine

Status: died in prison while serving a life sentence

Preying on families living in isolated houses, Onoprienko always followed the same method. He would kill the father first, then the mother and finally the children, followed by any witnesses who had a misfortune of being nearby. He was arrested 17 days after police arrested and tortured to death a 26-year-old Yury Mozola, suspecting him for some of the Onoprienko’s murders. Onoprienko confessed to 52 murders, but it is suspected there are more of his undiscovered victims. The only reason he escaped death penalty was because Ukraine abolished it year earlier. Anatoly Onoprienko died in prison in 2013.
