Russian serial killer says murder is like love

MOSCOW (Reuters) - A Russian man accused of murdering 49 people asked a court on Tuesday to add another eleven victims to his tally, and told a jury when he first strangled a man it was like falling in love for the first time.

Supermarket worker Alexander Pichushkin, 33, has been branded the 'chessboard murderer' by Russian newspapers because he hoped to put a coin on every square of a 64-place chessboard for each murder.

"A first killing is like your first love. You never forget it," he said from a cage in the courtroom, after explaining how he started killing at age 18 with the murder of a classmate.

1. Or is he wrong. Maybe love is like murder.

2. I'll have to get back to you on this.

Yet to have my first killing. Somehow, I think I will remeber it.

3. Love is murder

Murder is love
I'm a rock 'n' roll hoodlum
with a black leather glove
Knock me down, baby
Step on my face
I'm a fool for ya, baby
Let's blow up this place

4. Hmm...He has a point there.

Love is so cruel and vicious that it certainly feels like you are either strangling someone else or being strangled. He just might be right. He's certainly poetic even if he is a fucking madman. Interesting.
