Serhiy Tkach (Template:Lang-ru) is a former Ukrainian police criminal investigator and convicted serial killer who claimed to have killed 100 people.[1][2] He suffocated girls aged between eight and 18 and performed sexual acts on their bodies after they were dead.[1] Although Tkach admitted his crimes and demanded the death penalty, after a one year trial, a tribunal in Dnipropetrovsk sentenced him to life for the rape and murder of 36 women over more than two decades.[1] Over the years, 9 people had been wrongly jailed for some of the murders of which Tkach was found guilty. One of the men wrongly accused reportedly killed himself.[1]
