Hi everyone, I hope you're all doing so well and welcome back to the Criminal Maker podcast.

Each episode we dive into the minds of some of the worst criminals in history, and today

we are going to be talking about the case of Anatoly Honoprienko, also known as the Beast

of Ukraine.

Okay, so today's case, wow, wow, wow, wow, this is a crazy and horrific one.

At the time of this case, Anatoly was labelled as the world's worst serial killer.

Yes, you heard that right, the world's worst serial killer.

Now to have that title, you need to be a pretty despicable human being.

And that is exactly what Anatoly was.

He went on one of the worst killing sprees in history.

Whole families were turning up dead in their homes just days apart, and the authorities

had no idea who was behind it.

It was absolutely terrifying.

And I think the reason he got labelled as the world's worst serial killer was due to how fast

the murders were taking place.

There were literally multiple victims turning up weekly, and this went on for months.

And even though he's not the world's worst serial killer in terms of like number of victims,

he's still up there with more confirmed victims than people like Ted Bundy and John Wayne Gacy.

So yeah, Anatoly, he's pretty terrible.

And this is a very infamous case in Ukraine as you can imagine.

So that is what we are going to be looking into today.

What turned Anatoly into the Beast of Ukraine?
