The prosecutor's office has requested a life sentence for the Balashikha poisoner Missyura.

The state prosecution has requested life imprisonment in a special regime colony for Artyom Missyura, a serial poisoner from Balashikha. This was reported on May 13 by a correspondent of Izvestia from the hall of the Moscow Regional Court.

Missyura was demanded to be found guilty of the murder of his grandmother and childhood friend, as well as the attempted murder of seven other people, including members of his family, and fraud.

The defendant was diagnosed with a hysterical personality disorder, and the prosecutor asked to be declared sane at the time of the crimes.

The father of Missyura's murdered friend said during the examination that the attacker often showed sadistic tendencies as a child. According to him, Missyura bullied cats and dogs from an early age. He invariably reacted to accusations of meanness with a "grinning grin", shifting the blame to his friends.

Missyura was detained on July 19, 2024. According to the investigation, from January to June, the suspect, while in his parents' apartment, poured strong chemicals into their products with the aim of fatal poisoning. Later, a surveillance camera was installed in the apartment, which recorded how Missyura poured toxic substances into his parents' food. On August 25 of this year, Missyura fully admitted his guilt.

In December last year, it was reported that Missyura wanted to burn down the car of his friend Konstantin's girlfriend after he drugged him with deadly poison. The poisoner was spending time at Konstantin and his girlfriend's house, and when he left, he hugged his friend and asked about his well-being. At night, the man felt unwell and lost his bearings in space, and an ambulance was called for him. Upon learning of Konstantin's death, Missyura calmly watched the general panic, and after he was not invited to the funeral, he began to threaten his friend's girlfriend and intended to burn her car.

In September, it was also reported that Missyura filled his stepfather's coffee machine with a "potion" of chemicals and replaced spices in his house with poison. At the same time, the man, not realizing that his stepson was poisoning him, was more than once surprised by the strange taste of the products and noticed the consequences of their use. In addition, the defendant wanted to give his uncle and grandmother a deadly liquid disguised as "holy water."
