Historical departure

Particulars

Vasile Tcaciuc was known to the Iași police since around 1930 and had been arrested and imprisoned on robbery and burglary charges. On 7 September 1935 a dog found six bodies under his house in Iași. He confessed to having committed at least 21 murders at the behest of a 17‑year‑old girl, who then helped him bury the victims under the floors of several isolated houses and in a forest.

He was shot dead by a policeman while trying to escape during a reconstruction of one of his crimes.
