Popkov, a former police officer, would dress up in his old uniform and approach his victims, usually prostitutes, drunk women or other people Popkov considered immoral. He would offer them a free ride so they got in his car, where he would rape them before killing them. The murders were committed with instruments such as knives, axes, baseball bats and screwdrivers, leaving the bodies so badly mutilated that the killer was dubbed "the werewolf of Siberia" by the press. Popkov was motivated by his suspicion that his wife was cheating on him, which lead him to view all women as immoral.
