Denis Alexandrovich Zubov (Russian: Денис Александрович Зубов; 1981 – April 20, 2023) was a Russian serial killer who killed three people in Volgograd Oblast between 2013 and 2014, cutting off reproductive organs post-mortem in order to humiliate his victims. Following a two-year manhunt, Zubov was arrested in 2016, found guilty of all crimes and sentenced to 21 years imprisonment.[1] He was reportedly released from prison in exchange for doing military service during the Russian invasion of Ukraine and was reportedly killed in action during the Battle of Bakhmut in 2023.[2]
