Anushervon Rakhmanov (Russian: Анушервон Рахманов; Tajik: Анушервон Раҳмонов 1995 – April 2, 2015) was a suspected Tajikistani-Russian serial killer who was linked to the murders of seven people, including a family of four, in Moscow between 2014 and 2015. Believed to be a copycat of Soviet criminal Vladimir Ionesyan, he was thusly nicknamed Mosgaz-2.[1] He hanged himself at his jail cell in Matrosskaya Tishina before he could stand trial for the murders.[2]
