Biography

Retunsky was born on February 4, 1950, in the town of

VAZ company in his hometown.[1]

Retunsky picked up every victim at the roadside, thereby luring them in his trap: from the passenger's side, the truck lacked an internal door handle.

and several notebooks of poems about the love towards his "work" were found in the house. In total, the investigation established eight murders, although Retunsky himself admitted to only two.

He had to be guarded heavily to avoid any lynching attempt from his fellow countrymen, and the trial was held in a closed court. The Voronezh Regional Court then sentenced Retunsky to death, but after appealing it, it was commuted to 15 years imprisonment, since at the time there were no life sentences. He served his sentence in the Vladimir Central Prison.[3]

In 2012, after serving the 15-years sentence, Retunsky returned to his hometown and settled in with his sister. He was on the police account, being forbidden to leave the house from 10 PM to 6 AM or visit entertainment institutions. Under the assurances of the management of the Investigative Committee for the Voronezh Oblast, relatives of Retunsky's victims were taken under state protection.[4]

Later in the spring of 2012, Vladimir Retunsky was again detained by

rubles.[5]
 The Povorino District Court sentenced him to 5 years imprisonment.

He was released from the Semiluki strict regime penal colony on July 22, 2015.[6]
