The blocked drains of Sõle Street
On 7 July 2000 Vassili Savka killed his wife of four months in their rented flat on the ninth floor of the panel block at Sõle 35 in Tallinn. That same night he killed her mother and her 12-year-old son, who lived nearby on Kolde Boulevard, and hid their bodies in a cellar at a country house in Käru, Rapla County. Over the next days the building's drains kept clogging. Residents had a sample tested, and it was probably human. Savka told friends his family had gone to Lake Peipus. Only in September, when relatives turned to a police commissioner, were the bodies found. In 2003 he was sentenced to life.

7. juulil 2000 tappis Vassili Savka Tallinnas Sõle 35 paneelmaja üheksanda korruse üürikorteris oma naise, kellega ta oli olnud abielus vaid neli kuud. Samal ööl tappis ta lähedal Kolde puiesteel elanud naise ema ja 12-aastase poja ning viis nende surnukehad Raplamaale Kärusse maamaja keldrisse. Järgmistel päevadel ummistus maja kanalisatsioon korduvalt. Elanikud viisid tüki ekspertiisi ja see osutus suure tõenäosusega inimlihaks. Savka rääkis tuttavatele, et pere sõitis Peipsi äärde puhkama. Alles septembris, kui omaksed pöördusid politseikomissari poole, leiti surnukehad. 2003. aastal mõisteti Savka eluks ajaks vangi.
