Murders
Rubel was intoxicated with gasoline vapours
during all his murders.
On 19 September 1997, Rubel killed Tõnu Põld
(born 1952), a handicapped neighbour. According to Rubel's
testimony, he had a desire to kill anybody at that time, and he
picked this first victim in the hope that he would offer little
resistance.
On 7 November 1997, Rubel's second victim was
first stabbed by his father, Andrei Rubel, who stabbed Aleksei
Pavlov (born 1963), a guest, four times. According to his
testimony, Andrei Rubel had thought Pavlov had been courting his
wife. Subsequent to the stabbing, Aleksandr Rubel helped Pavlov
into an empty room in the house, where he strangled him and then
threw him out of the third floor window. Andrei Rubel was
convicted as a participant in this murder, and sentenced to seven
years of imprisonment.
Between the 22 and 24 January 1998, Rubel
stabbed Jevgeni Shelest (born 1947) to death in the Stroomi
Beach.
On 2 February 1998, Rubel decapitated
Vladimir Ivanov (born 1954), a random passerby using an axe
after asking him a cigarette and five EEK "for gasoline".
On 9 February 1998, Rubel killed Olga
Voronkova (born 1944), a neighbour, in the house where they
lived - Kopli 100B.
Between 28 February and 1 March 1998, Rubel
killed Vladimir Kinzerski (born 1944) in his house.
On 4 June 1998, Rubel killed 15-year-old
Alice Siivas (born 22 February 1983) in Paljassaare by cutting
her throat.
