Valentinas Laskys (1953 – 12 December 1993) was a Lithuanian serial killer who, together with his daughter, robbed and killed four people. He was executed by shooting for these crimes.
Early life[edit]
During his infancy, Laskys was taken away from his mother due to neglect. He grew up in a care home, and was transferred from primary school to a specialized care home.[1]
Murders[edit]
Throughout his criminal career, Laskys was convicted seven times before being sentenced to death.[1] In 1991, after committing a murder in Minsk, he went into hiding in Russia, Georgia and Moldova where he was arrested in Chișinău.[2]
Trial and execution[edit]
On 5 August 1993, Laskys was found guilty of committing at least three murders since 1990. The court sentenced him to death.[3]
Laskys was executed by shooting at Lukiškės Prison on 12 December 1993. Vladimiras Ivanovas was also executed on the same day for killing a mother and her 4-year-old daughter.[2]
