<p>Not quite sure how many of you have heard of this, but here's the story behind them:</p>
<p>Dnepropetrovsk</a> maniacs - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia</p>
<p>Apparently, a video of theirs surfaced in December 2008 called "3 guys 1 hammer", although I definitely recommend not viewing it. One of the craziest thing's I've ever heard and disturbing as well. What do you think should be their punishment? :P</p>
<p>If I was a police officer in russia, the moment I saw that video I would go in where those boys are being held and shoot them all in the balls, kneecaps and hands.</p>
<p>I could have lived quite happily without ever knowing that story.</p>
<p>American prisons are some of the safest in the entire world. They are like a country club compared to other prison systems around the world. Most have TV, they have AC, mattresses, 3 meals a day, access to the internet, recreation rooms etc. Russian prisons aren't quite the same. They are going to get torn a new one in the ****<strong><em>. this video *</em></strong>ed the hell out of me</p>
<p>Is it some video, where a man gets beaten up by a hammer, and then his eye is poked out with a screwdriver?</p>
<p>And why did you mention Russian prisons?</p>
<p>^read the wikipedia article</p>

The suspects' cell phones and personal computers contained multiple video recordings of murders taking place. At least one full video was leaked to the internet, showing an unidentified male victim laying prostrate in a wooded area. He is repeatedly struck in the face with a hammer held inside a plastic bag. The murderers then poke out the victim's eyes with a screwdriver, and stab him with the screwdriver elsewhere. The victim is then repeatedly struck with the hammer to ensure he's dead. The murderers walk back to their car, showing that the crime took place just a few feet away from the side of the road, right next to their parked car. They calmly discuss the murder, expressing mild amazement that the victim was still breathing after a screwdriver was plunged into his exposed brain. The suspects then wash their hands and the hammer in a puddle and with a water bottle, and begin to laugh. Only two suspects appear to be present in the video, one always behind the camera.

<p>Ugh. If anybody wants to see the video, google "uncover reality murderers" without quotes. It's the first result. DEFINITELY not for the faint of heart.</p>
<p>I do not really want to read it...</p>
<p>sorry, ukranian prison.</p>
<p>i watched the first 10 seconds and closed it out, that was way back in beginning of december</p>
<p>^Well, then why did you mention Ukrainian prisons? There is no reference to prison treatment in Ukraine in the Wikipedia article. Was that just a general musing?</p>
<p>Since I tend to not forget disturbing images very easily, I think I'm going to refrain from the video.</p>
<p>I mentioned the prisons because I asked what an appropriate punishment would be, and i imagine they'll get some hell in a ukranian prison, where things arent quite as just</p>
<p>Bump, victim of the video has been identified:
<p>Yatzenko was 48 years old. He had recently been forced into retirement due to a cancer tumor in his throat. Treatment left him unable to speak for some time, but Yatzenko was unhappy with being unable to work and continued to find odd jobs around the village. He took on small construction projects, fixed cars, weaved baskets, and cooked for his family. He was just beginning to regain his voice by the time of the murder. Yatzenko was married and had two sons and one grandchild. He also had a disabled mother whom he took care of.</p>
<p>Yatzenko had had another brush with death 16 years earlier. While working at a farm, he lost control of his tractor and rolled downhill into a river. Instead of jumping out, he stayed in the cabin trying to save his vehicle, and ended up being pinned underwater. By the time he was extracted, Yatzenko was clinically dead. He was however eventually resuscitated. Doctors called his survival "one in a thousand".</p>
<p>At around 2:30 PM on the day of the murder, he called his wife to let her know he was riding his old Dnepr motorcycle to see his grandchild. However he never made it to his son's house, and his cell phone was turned off by 6 PM. His wife Lyudmila called a friend and walked around the village, afraid that her husband might have fallen ill or had a motorcycle accident. They were unable to locate any signs of him. They were also unable to file a missing person's report, since in the Ukraine a person cannot be declared missing until at least 72 hours after last being seen. The next day Lyudmila posted photographs of her husband around the village, and enlisted more local help to search the surrounding area. Finally, four days later, a local who saw one of Lyudmila's posters remembered that he had seen an abandoned Dnepr bike in a remote wooded area by a garbage dump. He took Yatzenko's relatives to the scene, where they discovered his mutilated decomposing body. [7]</p>
<p>The fact that Yatzenko's murder was videotaped was unknown to the public until a court session on October 29, 2008. The full unedited video of the murder was shown as part of a large presentation by the prosecution, causing shock in the audience. The court agreed with the prosecution that the video was genuine, and that it showed Igor Suprunyuck attacking the victim, and that Viktor Sayenko was the man behind the camera.</p>
<p>The Yatzenko murder video was leaked to the internet some time around early December of 2008.

<p>Here's a picture of what he looked like before the incident: <a href="http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/2/2d/Sergei_Yatzenko.jpg%5B/url%5D">http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/2/2d/Sergei_Yatzenko.jpg</a></p>
