An infamous murderer and rapist has been killed in Russia’s war against Ukraine, as demonstrated today.
The Tulun maniac, who twice killed and raped 27 women and suspected women, was sentenced to remain in prison until 2045.
But Vladimir Putin this year freed the 24-stone sex fiend – bulldozer driver Pavel Shuvalov, 55 – to fight in his war in Ukraine, even though some of his helpless victims were children.
The “mass rapist”, married to a respected and unsuspecting teacher with two children, only lasted three weeks at the front before he was killed in clashes with the Ukrainian army, according to reports.
His death in occupied Luhansk seven months ago was confirmed by three military sources, said a report from Lenta.ru. His body “could not be recovered” from the war zone.
Russia has reportedly sent convicts on the most complicated and complex attack operations of the war. The truck killer “fell asleep snoring loudly on his trapped victims”, the court heard at his trial in 2021. Police suspected around 60 rape victims, elderly people between thirteen and 40, but in many cases they refused to testify against him, or the statute of limitations was imposed on him because he had eluded the police for so long. His reign of terror in Tulan, Irkutsk region, began in 1992.
Police investigator Evgeny Karchevsky said a “characteristic feature of his crimes” was falling asleep after raping his victims who could not escape because of his 24-stone weight. “Very often, immediately after the rape, the maniac fell asleep right on top of the victim,” he said. “The victims say that with his huge weight he simply enveloped the woman lying under him and began to snore. It was impossible to break free from under this (24-stone) bulk.”
One victim, Valentina Danilova, who waived her anonymity, said: “He attacked me and my cousin from behind, with a knife. It was over 17 years ago, but I still remember everything so clearly. At first I tried to escape, but cut myself on a knife, blood flowed down my clothes and leg. I realised that it was too dangerous, and I stopped trying to run. He took us to a maternity hospital building site by the road, threw his jacket on the floor and tormented us for several hours. I lost my voice screaming but no one came to help. I managed to escape to get help when he fell asleep on top of my cousin.” A victim called Diana said: “Only when he was already snoring could I eventually pull myself free and escape.”
Former police investigator Artyom Dubynin said: “He held a knife to the throat of each of his victims so they couldn’t fight back.” Shuvalov “could torture his victims for the whole night or several hours”.
It is reported that a series of police blunders allowed the so-called “Tulun Maniac” to continue his reign of terror for approximately three decades. A woman known as Victim No. 8 said Shuvalov, who smelled of diesel, deserved to have been castrated. “Give it to me now and I’ll castrate it myself,” she said at her sentencing. “Honestly, my hands may not be shaking. Many years have passed and I have had this desire.
Shuvalov’s adult son, “shocked,” said after the verdict: “I don’t think my father can lead a double life. “His daughter-in-law told Komsomolskaya Pravda: “He is a kind and gentle man. Don’t you think your wife would? Would she have suspected anything if she had committed crimes?»
About 15,000 men underwent genetic testing during the research. In total, some 3,000 men were questioned before the suspect was arrested. Shuvalov was convicted of double homicide and two counts of rape, and sentenced to 24 years in prison. Severe flooding destroyed the key documents violation in his case.
