He was the Soviet Union's worst-ever 'maniac', a bloodthirsty 'vampire' who murdered, sexually assaulted and cannibalised at least 52 in a reign of terror stretching over a dozen years.
This psychopath violated the bodies of his victims, chopping off their tongues, bursting their eardrums, and gouging out their eyes which, he feared, had memorised his image.
Samsonova's neighbour Marina Krivenko - who has known Samsonova for 15 years - said her friend was 'very interested in maniac Chikatilo'.

'She gathered information about him and how he committed his murders,' the neighbour said, according to Lenta.ru, though the reason for her warped fascination is unclear.
Police are still investigating whether she also ate human organs from her victims, and she is currently undergoing psychiatric check.
