Valery Georgievich Asratyan (Armenian: Վալերի Հասրաթյան, Russian: Вале́рий Гео́ргиевич Асратя́н, c. 1958 – 1996) was a Soviet suspected serial killer, convicted for the killing of two women in Moscow between 1988 and 1990. Asratyan, a previously convicted serial rapist and child molester, committed over 20 rapes of girls and young women during the 1980s. Later posing as a film director, Asratyan used anesthesia to render victims unconscious, killing several out of fear of being sent to prison before being apprehended in 1990.
Asratyan was sentenced to death and executed at Butyrka Prison in 1996.[2]
