He tried to rape and kill her, but the victim managed to escape and call for help. She said that the offender shouted at her: "I will cut you into pieces, creature". These words caused the investigators to go investigate the park, where they found the headless body of Trasyn. Lebedeva said that she had seen her attacker's face, and it was a man she had seen previously after the announcement. He had come to see her, but quickly left and then attacked her (so he attacked her again this time). She had kept the letters from him, the author of which turned out to be Skrynnik. However, it wasn't possible to compare the handwritings of the killer and Glukharyov, as the notes the maniac sent were written in block letters. Skrynnik was then summoned to the military registration and enlistment office, where he was required to fill out documents in block letters, and they coincided with the handwritings of the killer. Alexander Skrynnik was detained at the "Patria" cinema, where he had gone with a girl. He admitted his crimes without any repentance, calling himself an "orderly of nature". At his trial, he stated that he would describe all the terrible things he had done and asked for those with a weak stomach to leave. The Supreme Court of the Moldavian SSR sentenced Skrynnik to death, and he was subsequently executed by firing squad, but the exact date is unknown.
