to purposefully kill his victims, and in addition to rapes, there would be a chain of corpses. Irtyshov noted that he liked the clinic where he was examined, and said that he would like to be recognized as insane and prescribed compulsory treatment. He said: I'm crazy, since I did this... Exactly abnormal! I do not want to go to jail, put me in hosptail, forever! However, he was not recognized as insane, as he had enough intelligence to lead the investigation. Irtyshov's trial was closed in order to avoid lynching. In total, he was accused of violating 15 articles from the Criminal Code of Russia. The court found Igor guilty of several articles, including murder, rape, serious bodily harm, and was sentenced to death.
