Nikolai Dzhumagaliev, known now also as "Metal Fang" because of his uncommon false teeth made of white metal, had already served time for manslaughter when he began to kill young women in Alma-Ata, Kazakhastan, a republic of the Soviet Union, in 1980. Despite his odd teeth, Dzhumagaliev was a well-dressed and handsome man who had no problems getting women to accomany him to the remote locations at which he would kill them. Once the oblivious victims were in his control he would proceed to rape them and hack them to death with an axe. Cannablism was also a big part of his killings and after the the death of a victim he would carve their bodies and serve the meat at suppers often attended by his own friends.
Two people that Dzhumagaliev invited to his home for one of the meals discovered a woman's head in the kitchen and quickly alerted police, who charged the depraved killer with seven total murders, though it is rumored "Metal Fang" committed many more. He was found insane and committed to a mental insitution but escaped in 1989 while being transferred to another facility. While it was never reported that Dzhumagaliev killed anyone during the time he was free, the escapee was rumored to have been seen prowling Moscow streets often before his re-arrest in August of 1991.
