the first murder the maniac committed was in april 1945. all of the murders, as tyurin himself said, were committed in the same scenario - in the baptist and smolensk markets of leningrad, he tracked down people with large sums of money or valuable things to exchange, offering them to sell potatoes at a reduced price, after which he took them to the hut. in the hut, he offered the victim to go down into the cellar and collect the potatoes themselves. when the buyer began to descent the stairs, tyurin would hit them on the head with a heavy object. nevertheless, this version caused great doubts, since the examination showed that there are no traces of human blood in the barracks, it was likely that tyurin committed the killings outside of the barracks, and undressed the victims afterwards.
