Vasili Komaroff

Vasili Komaroff
Vasili Komaroff (1871-1923) was a Russian serial killer who claimed the lives of 33 people from 1921 through 1923. Komaroff's method of murder included luring young men away from a horse market near Komaroff's residence and, once the unsuspecting victim had their back turned, brutually murdering them via strangulation or bludgeoning with a hammer.

On June 18, 1923, Vasili Komaroff and his wife (who was found guilty by association) were executed via firing squad.
