according to tyurin, in the period between april 1945 and december 1946, he committed 29 murders. he dropped a number of bodies into the utkina zavod, which is probably why they were never found. in december 1946, near the hut where the murderer lived, the bodies of two of his victims were discovered. the surrounding buildings were checked, and traces of blood were found in tyurin's room, which later turned out to be traces of animal blood, but law enforcement agencies became interested in the teamster. at that time, tyurin returned home to the ryazan oblast and, according to the testimony of neighbors, his luggage was around 11 suitcases. on january 27, 1947, when tyurin returned to leningrad, he was arrested and interrogated. during the initial interrogations, he refused to testify, but soon began speaking. during the investigative experiments, the bodies of 13 victims were found, one more was not possible to be located, since a railway was laid above the burial site. at least 9 more victims of tyurin, by his own admission, were drowned in the utkina zavod, however, the bottom of the reservoir was so silty that even divers could not find the bodies. as a result, tyurin was accused of committing 14 murders. on may 4, 1947, his case was transferred to the court, which soon sentenced the maniac to death through firing squad. the sentenced was carried out in 1947.
