I have covered some seriously disturbing stories in the year and a half that I’ve been covering the news. Tragic accidents, rapes, and hoffiying sexual mishaps can’t compare to the following story that you’re about to read.

A recent string of murders has ended in the Ukraine.

Police finally captured three 19-year-old boys who brutally tortured and killed twenty-one people in one month.

The boys, known as Dnepropetrovsk Maniacs, would beat their victims to death with hammers and then attend the funerals of their victims. Videos of every murder were taken, as well as over 300 photographs – some of them showing the teens upturning their middle fingers at the graves of the people they killed.

I’ve seen some pretty disgusting shit on the web before, but I saw one of the Dnepropetrovsk murder videos today and it was easily the worst. Most of you will not look for the video, but I think it’s important for everyone to know why I lost a little more faith for humanity today.

***The following is a graphic description of the murder video***

The video only shows two of the boys because one of them previously left the murderous trio. It starts with a man laying on the ground in a forest. He looks beat up and nearly unconscious.

All of a sudden, one of the kids grabs an object and bludgeons the man’s face several times until it becomes a bloody, unrecognizable mess.

Somehow, the victim still breaths and opens his mouth – well, I think it’s his mouth. One of the boys takes a screwdriver and stabs the man’s stomach repeatedly for over a minute, twisting the screwdriver around as he pierces through the tissue.

At this point, I was certain the man was dead, but no. His arms are moving around and his mouth is opening. How is this possible?

They pause to watch blood squirt out of the victim’s head in fountains, each time he breaths.

The cameraman takes his turn now. He begins stabbing the victim in the eyes with a screwdriver. Just like the other boy, he twists the screwdriver around and swirls the eyeball liquid around in the man’s empty sockets.

When the man still had not died after having his face smashed in, his eyes poked out, and his guts stabbed, the boys finished him off by smashing his skull in with a hammer.

Now that I think about it, the video kind of reminded me of that movie Three Ninjas, except more violent and the kids were the bad guys.
