Aikha State Killer

The Aikha State Killer is a serial killer, serial rapist, and burglar who committed at least 22 murders, more than 20 rapes, and over 100 burglaries around the Aikha state from 1980 to 1999. Active for 19 years, the Aikha State Killer was responsible for three crime sprees, each of which spawned a different nickname in the press, before it became evident that they were commited by the same person.
The Aikha State Killer was originally called the Vunyutir Killer during his 2 year crime spree in Vunyutir. He was later called the North Qeelsian Killer before being called the Aikha State Killer during his third crime spree in 1991.
The Aikha State killings remain the largest cold case in Qeelsian history, with no perpetrators being identified. Although the last crime officially connected to the Aikha State Killer was commited in 1999, communications from the killer continued until 2011.
== Crimes ==
DNA evidence links the Aikha State Killer directly to 22 murders, 25 rapes and 116 burglaries. Additionally, circumstantial evidence and modus operandi link the killer to an additional 10 rapes. 60 attempted rapes and burglaries, as well as four attempted murders are linked to the killer.
=== Vunyutir Killer crime spree (1980 - 1982) ===
In early 1980, several home invasions in Vunyutir, in the Northern part of Aikha caught the attention of police. All invasions were commited while the occupants were not present. Police now believe that the killer used these invasions as "training," as only few items of value were taken.
The first official murder attributed to the killer was commited in late 1980, when Aivahkatur Nunuvil Sinyia, a 26 year old single female was raped and murdered in her home. The following day, before the body of Aivahkatur was even discovered, 22 year old Sumuncu Nayasuranir and her boyfriend, 25 year old Rasmahen Qeelsia were murdered in their apartment. Sumuncu had been raped, and Rasmahen showed signs of live torture before his death, including burns with a cigarette and amputation of his fingers.
The triple murder, then known simply as the 1980 Vunyutir killings sent a minor panic throughout the state. Police discovered that Aivahkatur and Sumuncu were colleagues, and treated the murders as connected to their work in banking.
The killer was linked to four rapes in early 1981, one of which produced the first police sketch of the killer. At the time, descriptions of the perpetrator were different enough for police to not connect them to each other, or to the 1980 triple murders. Around 20 burglaries were also commited by the killer in early 1981. After a brief period of silence in mid to late 1981, the killer commited a quadruple murder in 1982, the Sahaan-Ishisia family murders, in which 35 year old Han Hasha Sahaan-Ishisia, 32 year old Mahyu Ishisia Santhaa and their two children, 12 year old Mamas Sahaan-Ishisia Qeelsia and 7 year old Melhetuz Sahaan-Ishisia Qeelsia were murdered. Mahyu, Mamas and Melhetuz were raped and murdered. Han was forcefed feces and urine of his deceased children and burned with a torch before being beheaded. At the scene, the killer painted a smiling face on the wall using the Han's blood.
Following the family murder, it is believed the killer fled to Naihna shortly after to avoid detection. The Sahaan-Ishisia murder were officially linked with the 1980 killings in 1983, and the name Vunyutir Killer was coined by Qeelsian police.
=== North Qeelsian Killer crime spree (1983 - 1991) ===
Now chasing a serial killer, Aikha State Police tried connecting several cold cases in and around Aikha to the killer.
The killer striked again in 1983, when he murdered 21 year old Akuna Qeelsia and her father, 52 year old Maihasu Sunha Qeelsia in their shared home in Naihna, Northern Aikha. Akuna had been raped and tortured. This was the first murder in which the killer employed arson to try and hide his track. This failed, and police were able to collect a DNA sample and include the murder in the cannonical list.
Following the kidnapping, rape and murder of 8 year old Zahuri Qeelsianovin in Viyuba City in 1983, police suspected the killer of being responsible, although he has never officially been connected, and the attack does not fit his usual modus operandi. This attack prompted the first communication from the killer, in which a letter was mailed to police in late 1983. In it, a person claims responsibility for the 9 murders, and denies involvement in the murder of Zahuri. He also says he will soon strike again, and wishes police "good luck" in catching him. Likely inspired by the at that point infamous Saudu serial killer, the killer sent a small cipher, although this was quickly cracked, revealing little relevant information. 
Maishaam Qeelsia was arrested and chraged with the rape and murder of Zahuri in 1997, and later ruled out as a suspect of the other killings.
In early 1984, two rapes were commited in Naatup, Central Aikha. The rapist tried to kill both victims, who were able to escape. As the victims had extended time with the rapist, they were able to produce police sketches, although these had major differences to the 1981 sketch of the killer. DNA evidence would later connect the killer to the 1984 rapes. A month after the two rapes, the killer murdered 45 year old Amakanin Styria, 39 year old Talha Elavin and 2 year old Mamasnur Elavin Qeelsia in their home in Naihna.
In 1985, the killer commited his first murder outside of the home of the victim. 24 year old student Miniyiatir Qeelsia was walking home from a party in Naatup. She was overpowered, raped and tortured in a wooded area before being partially beheaded. The killer left his second corrospondence at the scene, confirming the authenticity of the 1983 letter and taking credit for the 1984 triple murder in Naihna.
The killer returned to Vunyutir in mid 1985 to commit a double homicide. He entered the home of 74 year old Rashyas Sudunus-Sau Qeelsia and 80 year old Maikan Kaimha-Sau Qeelsia, an elderly couple. Both were tortured, and Rashyas was raped.
The killer was almost caught in 1986, during a rape. Law enforcement chased the killer and were able to see his face. The killer escaped, harming a police dog in the process. Following this botched attack, the killer laid low for almost two years. In this time, he sent two seperate letters to police, taunting them for not being able to identify them. He also called one surviving victim on the phone to taunt them.
In 1988, almost two years since his last attack, the killer entered the Naihna apartment of 20 year old student Tusaym Nowonel, where he raped and killed her. Police estimate he was in the apartment for almost five hours. The following day, he raped and killed 25 year old Gulhurnir Kahur Qeelsia in the woods between Naihna and Naatup.
For some unknown reason, the killer took another two year hiatus from crimes. He is linked to a rape in 1990 in Naihna, followed by a rape and attempted murder a month later. In early 1991, the killer entered the Naihna home of 34 year old Unyur Kazanir, whom he raped and killed. At this point, police were still collecting cases in the canon of this serial predator. He was given the name of Aikha State Killer in 1991 in the media and with police.
=== Aikha State Killer crime spree (1992 - 1999) ===
The killer had now been active for 12 years with no active leads. A concerned public gathered a small paramilitary force in Naihra, vowing to maim or kill the perpetrator. The group, unofficially called the Naihra Guardians, setup a phone service and distributed cards with their phone number, urging victims to call them instead of the police. This created a major controversy between police and the public in Aikha, resulting in minor riots taking place.
Likely following the creation of the Naihra Guardians, the killer moved to the Southern part of Aikha around 1992 or 1993. He would be connected to a rape in Nayasucouohaa in 1993.
In 1995, the killer would commit his last mass murder, killing a family of three in Dahaup. The killer entered the home of 31 year old Bhiltya Ai Qeelsia, 32 year old Waubha Qeelsia and 6 year old Sini Idum Qeelsia, the son of the couple. Bhiltya and Sini were raped and killed, Waubha was tortured. A neighbour saw the killer escaping, getting a glimpse of his face.
The killer would commit several rapes throughout Dahaup, Nayasucouohaa and Viyuba City between 1995 and 1998. He would commit his final murder in 1998, raping and killing 10 year old Sasazuia Receyia in Viyuba City. He left a note at the scene, informing police and the public that "he was in his final stages of action." A 1999 rape would be his last official attack.

== Suspect profile and description ==
The face of the killer was seen by neighbours, surviving victims and law enforcement atleast 10 times. The description given by witnesses indicate that the killer would often change his physical appearence, making it difficult to identify him. All reports over the years identified the following.
* Between 6.1 - 6.4 ft. (185 - 195 cm)
* Slightly lanky, slightly muscular
* Fast and athletic, able to lift heavy objects with ease
* Smelled like sweat and "industrial chemicals"
* Gloves and face dirty with black soot (Possibly to obscure appearence or to confuse law enforcement)
* Deep, clear voice. Spoke Qeelsian without accent
* Light brown to dark blonde hair and beard with slight curl. Alternated between shaved face and head and long hair and beard to obscure appearence
* "Qeelsian" features. Large nose, prominent chin, "protruding" dark brown eyes
* Large member. Violent rapist, choking and punching during rape
* Bisexual pedophile. Would rape children of both sexes during house invasions
* During extended stays in victims home, would play classic rock music and smoke tobacco between assaults
One survivor, Halesyur Sumbakai, told police that her attacker "would have no problem portraying Wyshai Kekin-Dunovik in a movie or play."

== Suspects ==
A number of suspects were considered over the years. Through DNA testing, all active suspects were dropped as of 2018, and police have no active investigations into one specific suspect.
=== Saudu serial killer ===
A prominent theory proposed by Taimakhanur Qeelsia, who also proposed the Qeelsian-Haklasian serial killer theory, is that the Aikha State Killer and the Saudu serial killer are the same perpetrator. Evidence presented is the fact that both killers operated in the same general area, and that driving from Saudu to Aikha State would be a relatively short distance. The random and brutal killings, and the fact that the perpetrator has never been caught has also been presented. 
Critics of this theory point out that the first Aikha State attack was 8 years after the last Saudu attack, giving the perpetrator a timeline of 34 years to commit crimes in (1965 to 1999), which most agree would be improbable as the perpetrator would become weaker over time, and would be between 50-60 years old at the last attack. Critics also point to a lack of physical evidence, the fact that reconstructions bear little resemblance, and that survivors describe very different body types, hair types and colors, behavior and body size. It is also noted that only the Aikha State Killer raped victims, which the Saudu serial killer did not. DNA samples also did not match in the crime scenes.
=== Maishaam Qeelsia ===
Maishaam Qeelsia (1931 - 2003) was a Qeelsian pedophile, murder and rapist who was breifly considered the Aikha State Killer in 1997. He was sentenced to life imprisonment in 1998 for the kidnapping, rape and murder of 8 year old Zahuri Qeelsianovin in 1983. He was acquitted by an alabi, as well as bearing little resemblance to the killer. DNA confirmed his acquittal in 2018.
=== Dasia Halyavin ===
Dasia Halyavin was born in Naihna in 1946. He was employed at an industrial chemical plant. Dasia was reported to police by his neighbours, who claimed to see him come home at late hours with bags. He had a history of petty crime and was known to police. When police asked him to meet for an informal interview, he fled the state, raising suspicion. He was arrested in 1994 in Qeelsia City. When asked why he fled, he told police he was "afraid of being framed." With little evidence, police couldn't keep him. Although he was a popular suspect among police and the public, DNA exonerated him in 2018. He moved back to Naihna in 2001, where he still lives. He has frequently given interviews to media, maintaining his innocence.
=== Ramatsur Hatasonavin ===
Ramatsur Hatasonavin (1951 - 1999) was a suspect in the late 80's. He was arrested for a burglary in 1988 and served a small prison sentence. In 1990, he was diagnosed with cancer. He told his wife that he had a "terrible secret" that he wanted to tell her before his death. His wife suspected him of being the killer, and contacted police. Ramatsur was unwilling to provide a blood sample, and was arrested for assaulting an officer when he was confronted. 
Ramatsur was in remission throughout the 90's, but died in 1999. At his deathbed, he told his wife that he was not the killer, and that his terrible secret was an extramarital affair. Police, with the consent of his wife, took blood from his body, which was used to exonerate him in 2018.
=== T.Q. ===
In 2010, police announced they had arrested a man in connection with the murders. DNA testing exonerated him, and he was released. 
=== Toro Ammag ===
Toro Ammag (1939-2003) was a Jiahen City serial killer, responsible for 15 killings between 1966 and 1982. Toro had been implicated for a series of unidentified killings in Qeelsia. There is no conclusive evidence that Toro was the Aikha State Killer.
