In the heart of St. Petersburg, a horrifying crime unfolds that feels more like a horror film than real life. A respected 63-year-old fashion designer, Antonina Sergeeva, is brutally murdered and dismembered by her 77-year-old tenant — a man everyone thought was frail, harmless, and quiet. Using a chainsaw, he cut her body into pieces and attempted to dispose of the remains using a grocery cart. In this episode of From Russia with Crime, we explore how a minor rent dispute turned into a gruesome killing, why police missed a desperate emergency call, and how a murderer nearly escaped unnoticed. A chilling reminder that the real monsters often live next door.
