The killer often mutilated his victims, gouged their eyes out, believing they contained a snapshot of the last thing they saw, eviscerated their stomachs, chewed off their noses, and even cut out tongues and genitals. This eventually allowed him to lure his victims to a nearby forest, tie them up with rope, and kill them by stabbing to gain sexual release. Chikatilo mostly targeted females or runaways of various ages and approached them at bus and train stations using some simple ruse, such as offering them money, drugs, alcohol, or, in the cases of his child victims, toys and candy. In 1990, after a 12-year killing career, Andrei Chikatilo was arrested and convicted of killing more than 50 young people in the Soviet Union.
