Chikatilo confessed to fifty-six murders; he was tried for fifty-three murders in April 1992. He was convicted and [[Capital punishment in Russia|sentenced to death]] for fifty-two of these murders in October 1992, although the [[Supreme Court of Russia]] ruled in 1993 that [[Burden of proof (law)|insufficient evidence]] existed to prove his guilt in nine of those killings. Chikatilo was executed by gunshot in February 1994.
 
Chikatilo was known as "the "Rostov Ripper" and "the "Butcher of Rostov" because he committed most of his murders in the [[Rostov Oblast]] of the Russian SFSR.
