Mikhail Popkov, Russian ex-cop, on trial for 59 murders
| Popkov is serving a life sentence after being convicted in 2015 of raping and killing 22 women, and attempting to murder two more.
His victims and alleged victims were all women between the ages of 16 and 40 apart from one male, a policeman.
Prosecutors say Popkov killed them after offering them lifts late at night, sometimes in a police car, while he was off-duty.
| If convicted of all 81 murders, the number of victims would exceed those of "chessboard killer" Alexander Pichushkin, who killed 48 people, and Andrei Chikatilo, convicted of 52 murders during the Soviet era.

Mikhail Popkov, 53, has confessed to 59 additional murders between 1992 and 2010, Interfax news agency reports.
