As reported by The Scare Chamber, authorities did not have enough evidence to charge Alexander Spesivtsev’s mother, Lyudmila, with murder. However, she was charged as an accomplice. She was subsequently convicted and sentenced to 15 years in prison. Lyudmila was released from prison in 2008 after serving 13 years of her sentence. According to reports, she was last known to be living outside the city of Osinniki with her daughter.
Spesivtsev was eventually transferred to Kamyshin Regional Hospital, a high-security psychiatric facility in Volgograd. The Scare Chamber reports he has been candid about the murders he committed and outspoken about his political beliefs. When interviewed about the murders of Nastya, Olya, and Zhenya, Spesivtsev said, “It’s fun to have three girls at once. I often ran out of ideas, not knowing what I’d like. Then, the angrier I got, the nicer the girls were to me. … Those who don’t love me anymore and won’t do as I say – has to die. They were a little shocked, why I do not know.”

In his diaries, which authorities recovered from his apartment, Spesivtsev suggested he committed the murders in an effort to rid the streets of what he referred to as “debris.” During a later interview, The Scare Chamber reports Spesivtsev said, “How many people have our democracy destroyed? If people thought about that, there wouldn’t be any of this filth. But what can you do?”
