Stanislav Beloruscev

Stanislav Nikolayevich Beloruscev (Станислав Николаевич Белорусцев; born 1967) is a Russian serial killer who committed at least 11 murders in Krasnokamsk, Perm Krai, from 2003 to 2009.

Initially convicted of a triple murder and sentenced to life imprisonment, he has since confessed to eight other murders over a period of several years.

Very little is known about Beloruscev's early life.

He was born in Krasnokamsk in 1967, and since the mid-1980s, he developed an addiction to alcohol.

During the Soviet and post-Soviet years, he has been convicted of four times on different charges.

Over the following years, he would periodically contact the Investigative Committee of Perm Krai and confess to eight additional murders committed between 2003 and 2009.

On January 3, 2003, Korneenkova quarreled with her roommate and went to visit a friend named Zevakina, who herself was living with Beloruscev at the time.

During the visit, he raped her in the toilet and then strangled her with a scarf, after which he jewelry, 400 rubles and a Nokia 3310.

According to him, he had murdered an acquaintance surnamed Deriglazov at the man's apartment on Zvezdnaya Street in April 2004.

Beloruscev claimed that after getting into an argument with him, he punched Deriglazov twice in the face and then, armed with scissors, he struck him at least four times in the neck and back.

One of the cuts caused damage to Deriglazov's larynx on the right carotid artery and the jugular vein, in addition to the stabs in the back, caused him to bleed to death.

His testimony was confirmed by a female cohabitant, as she stated that at the time of the crime, she worked as a saleswoman at a kiosk in the Zvezdny neighborhood and had seen the two men drinking alcohol near her workplace before going to Deriglazov's apartment.

At the end of the working day, the woman went to look for Beloruscev and met with a friend, Popova, who told her that the two men were at Deriglazov's apartment, where they got into a fight because the latter was sexually harassing her.

She said that Beloruscev threatened to kill Deriglazov and then kicked her out of the apartment.

About an hour after the murder, Beloruscev left the apartment and met the witness on the street, after which she went to the apartment herself and found the corpse.

She said that later that day Beloruscev queried her and Popova if they had seen anything suspicious, but neither said that they had seen the body.

The two women never contacted the police about this incident, out of fear that Beloruscev would hurt them as well.

In 2009, Beloruscev was arrested for murdering three people in Krasnokamsk.

While drinking alcohol together, a quarrel occurred Beloruscev and his three acquaintances, during which he bludgeoned them to death with a dumbbell disk and stabbed them multiple times.

On September 10, 2010, he was convicted and received a life term, after which he was transferred to the Black Dolphin Prison to serve his sentence.

In 2013, he confessed to the murders of three other people who were killed in Krasnokamsk between August 2004 and January 2005.

Beloruscev left the colony and was returned to Krasnokamsk, where he was interrogated and took place in interrogative experiments to reproduce what had happened.

For the first murder, Beloruscev claimed that he and an acquaintance were walking through the city at night and searching for a place to drink vodka when he noticed that the lights were turned on in a nearby apartment.

They decided to go and knock on the door, and when the door was opened, they learned that the homeowner was an elderly woman who lived by herself.

The two men then barged inside and started rummaging through cupboards and closets to look for alcohol and money.

Beloruscev claimed that he stabbed the woman after she raised a ruckus, tried to kick them out and threatened to call the police.

He said that he committed the following two murders in a similar manner.

On September 20, 2013, he was convicted via jury trial for the murders and sentenced to another life term.

Between 2015 and 2016, he admitted to two additional murders, for which he was respectively convicted and given two additional life terms by the Perm Regional Court.

After the second trial, Beloruscev was returned to the Black Dolphin Prison, but in mid-2017, he was again returned to Krasnokamsk after confessing to his ninth murder.

On November 9, 2017, he was found guilty of Deriglazov's murder and given an additional 10-year sentence to be served concurrently with the existing life sentences.

A few months after the trial, in early 2018, Beloruscev confessed to his tenth murder, committed in March 2004 with the help of a friend, A. S. Zverev.

He claimed that while the two were drinking together, he and Zverev stabbed a fellow vagrant out of personal animosity, after which they dismembered the corpse.

They then took the remains and clothes and scattered them across the neighborhood, which were reported to the police a few days later by horrified residents.

Beloruscev was escorted to the crime scenes, and pointed out where the two had dumped the remains.

His testimony was completely consisted with that of Zverev and the findings of medical examiners, but despite this, he still decided to retract this confession.

Nevertheless, he was found guilty of this murder on March 16, 2020, and given an additional 16 years imprisonment.

However, as the statute of limitations had passed, Beloruscev was instead returned to the Black Dolphin Prison and serve out his remaining life sentences.

After spending three more years in prison, Beloruscev wrote another letter to the Investigative Committee in early 2023, confessing to his eleventh known murder and, chronologically, his first known.

His victim was a local woman named Natalia Korneenkova, the mother of a small child had been listed as a missing person for a long time.
