The
murderer was made the kneel and shot in the back of the head at close range,
the customary method of state execution, it is understood.
His death
in a Belarus jail was confirmed today by Olga Ivanova, senior state prosecutor
Mogilev region.
Victim
Alesya Klimava, aged 27, was stuck 77 times by Asipovich with a hammer and his
fists, his trial heard.
Her
friend Krystsina Krushkina, 26, died from multiple stab wounds.
He had
met the women at a nightclub and persuaded them to return with him to his
apartment in Babruysk city.
Shortly
before they were killed, Krushkina had made a desperate call to Belarus police
from the man's apartment to say they were barricaded into a bathroom and he
intended to murder them.

She gave
the name of the street but did not know the number of the apartment block.
By the
time police tracked down the right address, the women were dead.
Krushkina
was killed from 16 stab wounds to her neck and head.
Asipovich,
36, had made plans to dismember their bodies, then dispose of the human
remains, but police arrived before he could carry them out, his trial was told.
The
killer confessed to murdering the women and showed police how he carried out
the killings in a murder reconstruction.
But in
his appeal hearing the Belarus Supreme Court he claimed the women had attacked
and tried to rob him, prompting gasps from the mothers.
'I
am asking to overturn the (death sentence) verdict,' pleaded Asipovich.

But
grieving mother Nina Klimava told the three judges: 'To
me, he is a beast.
'This
was such a horrible murder of my girl – 77 wounds.'
She had
not been allowed to see her daughter's brutalised face.
'I
did not even look at her to say goodbye – her head was smashed to pieces,' she told the court.
'He
has not repented.
'He
was a beast and he remains a beast.
'The
girls called police, they begged for help… but he beat them to death.'
She
attacked his plea to live.
'Tell
me please, who deserves mercy? This man…..?
'My
mother's pain will never stop, even if he is shot. As long as I live I will
condemn him.
'I
don't wish it to anybody, to face what I had to.
'I
think the death sentence verdict is fair.
'The
girls suffered so much, they begged him to let them go…'
One judge
told her: 'I understand your emotions, please control yourself'.
Asipovich
'wept and asked forgiveness' in a glass court cage on hearing the verdict.
Asipovich
had previous convictions for theft, robbery, malicious hooliganism and grievous
bodily harm causing death.
