Source: Academovsky maniac Lytkin tried to commit a new murder to change the colony 
Nikita Lytkin, also known as the Academician maniac, who in the Irkutsk colony on December 1, in 2016, he tried to kill another prisoner in order to get a new term and move to another colony. This was announced on Friday, December 3, by a law enforcement source to Lente.ru.
According to the source, in 2015, Lytkin, convicted of a series of attacks and murders in the Irkutsk Academgorodok, was transferred to the Kemerovo correctional colony No. 41 (IK-41). In Kemerovo, at the request of his lawyer, Lytkin underwent a forensic psychological and psychiatric examination.
Experts concluded that Lytkin suffers from a severe mental disorder, which prevents him from serving his sentence. In August 2016, the Zavodskoy District Court of the city of Kemerovo, on this basis, released Lytkin from further serving his sentence and sent him for compulsory treatment to a special psychiatric institution.
But even before this decision came into legal force, Nikita Lytkin committed a new crime: he tried to kill another prisoner, inflicting at least eight blows on the head with a metal dustpan. According to the investigation, Lytkin committed this crime out of a desire to receive a new term and move to another colony.
“Nikita Lytkin did not succeed in bringing the crime to its logical conclusion: other prisoners dragged him away from the victim,” – the source said. In this regard, on June 1, 2017, Nikita Lytkin was sentenced to 11 years in prison as a particularly dangerous recidivist.
punishment came into force, although the very psychological and psychiatric examination, which became the basis for the release of the maniac from punishment, was refuted by the new one, carried out in connection with the attempted murder. In 2018, Lytkin was transferred to his homeland – to Irkutsk, to correctional colony No. 7 of a special regime, where he remained until the day of his death.
