The Jachachiran Sisters: 35 Stabs to a Tyrant

The Jachachiran Sisters: 35 Stabs to a Tyrant: The murder of Mikail Jachachiran in Moscow.

Three sisters stabbed their father 35 times while he slept, then called the police and confessed everything. The same act that should close the case opens it: why did these confessed murderers never escape? Why did the system ignore their cries for years?

In this episode, we explore the tension between premeditation and survival: hidden cameras proving captivity, medical examinations confirming systematic sexual abuse, and a petition of 300,000 signatures that divided Russia. Were they calculated criminals or victims with no other way out?

Victim: Kristina, Angelina, and María Jachachiran
Date: July 27, 2018
Location: Moscow, Russia
Status: Open trial; sisters officially recognized as victims; sentencing pending

- Three sisters coordinated a lethal attack against their father while he slept, but confessed without a plan for escape or subsequent resistance.
- Social services were formally alerted by the school; they never visited the home despite systematic class absences.
- Medical examinations document sexual abuse of minors, scars from prolonged mistreatment, and psychological damage sufficient to declare the youngest sister unaccountable.
- The paternal family of the father denies having witnessed violence, even though they lived in the same home where Mikail installed hidden cameras in his daughters' bedrooms.
