GRANNY THE RIPPER

A terrible situation has occurred in
Khabarovsk. 80-year—old Sofia Zhukova
is the oldest serial killer in the history of
Russia and the USSR. A quiet pensioner
lived for many years in the village of
Berezovka on the outskirts of the city,
without attracting attention to herself, but
after the death of her husband, her
character deteriorated greatly, and she
began to kill. Zhukova dealt with her
victims, whether a child or an old man, in
cold blood, and then dismembered the
bodies of the dead.

Sofia Zhukova was born in 1939 in the village of Zvyagino, Nizhny Novgorod region.
Little is known about her past: she did not receive an education and was a handyman
almost all her life. In 2005, her husband died — and something happened to the
woman: either the death of a loved one affected Zhukova's psyche, or with his departure
from the pensioner's life, a certain deterrent factor disappeared. Anyway, she committed
her first murder in the same year.
On the afternoon of December 14, 2005, eight-year-old Masha Dmitrieva (name
changed) was returning from school with her friend Vika. The girls reached Masha's
house, said goodbye and dispersed. Masha never reached the apartment on the second
floor.

The next day, grandpa was able to talk to Vika: she said that together with Masha, a
man and an elderly neighbor, 66-year-old Sofia Zhukova, came into the entrance.
According to Vika, a pensioner once scolded her and Masha because of the noise in the
entrance. "I'll chop off your hands and heads!" the neighbor threatened the children.
Several days of searching did not yield results — and soon the investigators summoned
Sofia Zhukova for questioning. According to the pensioner, she knew Masha well: the girl
often came to visit her when her husband was alive. They painted together, talked, and
the girl asked not to tell her parents about her visits so that she would not be scolded.

On December 27, a resident of Khabarovsk made an emergency stop near a landfill
near Berezovka. After getting out of the car, the driver saw a black plastic bag with meat
slightly dusted with snow and decided to pick it up for his dog. At home, the man
realized that he had brought home something terrible — there were human remains in
the package. The shocked man hastened to report the terrible find to the police and told
in detail where and how he found the package.
