# bio (long form, separated for readability)
bio: |
  Andrei Romanovich Chikatilo was born in Ukraine on 16 October 1936. Over twelve years, from 1978 to 1990, he committed murders across the Russian SFSR, Ukrainian SSR, and Uzbek SSR, most concentrated in the Rostov Oblast. He confessed to fifty-six killings and stood trial for fifty-three in April 1992. That October, he was convicted of fifty-two murders and sentenced to death, though the Supreme Court later ruled insufficient evidence existed for nine of those cases. He was executed by gunshot on 14 February 1994.
