December 28 in Moscow, in an apartment on Leningradsky Avenue, Ionesyan killed 11-year-old Alexander Lisovets. When he struck him first with the axe, the boy ran to the toilet and tried to lock it behind him, but the perpetrator managed to overtake him and killed Alexander in the toilet. Ionesyan did not take anything from the apartment: the door to the room where the cabinet stood was locked, and he could not find the key and crack it. The last murder Ionesyan committed his last murder on January 8, 1964 in an apartment on Sheremetyevskaya Street, near the Marina Grove.

While investigating the tenant, police found out that it was the same TV that disappeared from Ermakova's apartment.

A quick check, led by the then chairman of the KGB, Vladimir Semichastny, showed that Vladimir Ionesyan was not listed. Dmitrieva was put in solitary confinement, and confessed that her cohabitant went to Kazan, where after a while she was supposed to come too. At the
