	On August 11, 27 and September 14 in Moscow, Raevsky raped, killed (he repeatedly throttled, and then struck several times with a knife) and robbed three young women. Later examinations found that the second victim was pregnant. The first two murders were committed in a forest belt near Vnukovo Airport, and the third - at a construction site near the Dinamo metro station. Raevsky chose tourists as his victims. Upon meeting them, he would give them a blue rose (the blue color was obtained when the rose was put in water tinted with ink), which was left next to the deceased's bodies.
