The deputy governor of the Kalman district in the Siberian region of Altai Krai, Vitaly Manishin, has confessed to killing five women who were applicants to a local university in 2000, media reports cited sources as saying on June 23. The killings shocked the region at the time. Investigators had detained Aleksandr Anisimov, who had a criminal record, as a suspect. Anisimov had maintained his innocence. He died after he jumped from a high-rise building while in police custody. Manishin was arrested last month on suspicion of killing another woman in 1989.
