KEY POINTS:
A Russian man dubbed the Crazy Chess Killer has been charged with 49 murders but failed to achieve his goal of 64 - one for each square on a chess board.
Investigators say Alexander Pichushkin has confessed to murdering 62 people during a six-year killing spree.
But they have only been able to charge him with 49 counts of murder because Pichushkin can't say where the rest of the bodies are.
