Maniac Killers: Ukraine's Deadly Teens

In 2007, two 19-year-old boys in Ukraine went on a mission to film 40 murders, called "snuff videos", for which they were reportedly offered a large sum of money by an overseas individual. Within just 15 days they brutally murdered 21 innocent people. Some were killed with a swift hit on the temple with a hammer concealed in a bag. Others were tortured in horrific ways.

Their victims were people who were sleeping or walking along minding their own business. They killed children, women, and men for their own entertainment.

Although they were age 19 when they murdered, they hadn't yet escaped their childhood. The murders were the pinnacle of what they had been building up to since age 14 when they became friends in school. They had the same fears (heights, bullies, blood, and killing) and decided to face those fears together. The path they walked down was dark, bloody, and terrifying for the citizens of Ukraine.
