John Hughes, the self-professed serial killer/"Antichrist," told police": "I don't mean to be a smart ass about it, but you shouldn't try to fight with somebody with a gun."
Hughes, 34, was talking about Valentin G. Kirilchuk, a 39-year-old trucker from Springfield. In September 2008, Hughes' girlfriend allegedly lured Kirilchuk into a rest stop bathroom where Hughes robbed and killed Kirilchuk.
"This defendant viciously murdered two people in two weeks. He stabbed
his first victim to death, stole his gun, and then used that gun to kill
another innocent man," Platte County prosecutor Eric Zahnd said in a
statement. "For the safety of society, it is good that he will never
live outside prison walls again."
Hughes admitted wanting to rob Kirilchuk, who he spotted parked in a
rest area on Interstate 29 north near Dearborn on September 8, 2008.
Hughes' girlfriend, Dana Tutor, allegedly went to Kirilchuk's
truck and told him she needed $100. Kirilchuk went into the rest area's
main building with Tutor. Once inside, Hughes forced Kirilchuk into a
men's bathroom at gunpoint.
Hughes tried to rob Kirilchuk, who fought back. Hughes shot Kirilchuk in
the head one time with a 9mm handgun at close range. Hughes took
Kirilchuk's wallet, which had $200 in it, and a cell phone.
Police arrested Hughes for DUI in York County, Nebraska. During the
arrest, police found the 9mm, which they used to link him to Kirilchuk's
killing. Hughes stole the 9mm after robbing and stabbing David Durben
to death in Zanesville, Ohio.
In an interview with KMBC, Hughes claimed that he killed
15 to 20 people. He also showed off his lion tattoo
(you know, he's a lion among men) and a biblical quote
tat about the Antichrist (yes, he thinks he's the Antichrist).
Hughes will never see life outside of prison again. He pleaded guilty today to charges of first-degree murder, first-degree robbery, and
armed criminal action. A judge sentenced him to life in prison without the possibility of parole. He is also serving a life sentence in Ohio.
Tutor has been charged with second-degree robbery and second-degree murder. Her next court date is November 16.

People need to understand something, this guy didn't kill to be known. He killed because he is a sociopath that views living things as objects; he said so himself.
He is just a street thug that wants to be famous because he knows he will never walk the streets again. A bit of an attention seeker. I would not pay attention to him. He is obviously full of himself but yeah like someone mentioned he'll be useful as Bubba's best mate.
Did anyone hear the part in the interview where he mentioned having a daughter? Wow...what a waste of space! You have a child and you pull that? And now you're going to give up more information and people for what? To die? Because you don't want to live out the rest of your life in prison? YOU HAVE A DAUGHTER! Who do you think those Simon City Royals are going to go after when you start running your mouth? Not you, John Hughs, certainly not you, you're well gaurded in a prison. You say that you only see people as objects and yet you care about your daughter and your family and your girlfriend? YOU'RE A WASTE OF SPACE AS A FATHER! I agree that you don't care about anyone, but yourself. All you are is a megalomaniac who's been allowed to roam free for far to long. And now you're claiming to be a serial killer is just your desperate attempt to avoid consequences and save YOURSELF YET AGAIN. You don't deserve to be killed, because that would make you happy and you don't deserve happiness.
I watched an interview this guy did with reporter Lara Moritz. He points out in the interview, how smart he is, how intuitive he is and how in control he is...all this as he sat chained and bound within the confines of jail. He didn't strike me as anything other than "full of it"! This guy's not a lion among men...just another punk with a weapon!
this guy is full of himself, he says he doesnt take pharmacy drugs because it changes you but he takes street drugs to make himself feel better, i bet the guy he killed wasnt even by his own hands, he is a street gang member, not a killer. He talks shit, he wants fame, that little bitch couldnt even make it in my town
he aint bundy, he a street guy most of the shit he speaks is shit, he probably killed one person at a rest stop and his girl probably did it for him. you can see it on his face he a shit talking
Porky- I got the same vibe, seems like he wants attention and since other serial killers such as Bundy, Gacy, BTK, Green River Killer ETC. made it big in the media and became popular to the point that all of America knows who they are, this guy wants the same. Figures I got caught, im going to jail for the rest of my life so why not make a name for myself and instead of living in jail forever take the easy way out and request Death Penalty. Im a Criminal Justice Student studying Serial Killers and true killers stalk their prey and target individuals that are in their eyes weak or not valued in this world such as prostitutes and homeless ppl... This guy is killing to make others fearful of him...I think hes making alot of stuff up such as other murders and killing animals when he was younger, in his interview he didnt wana talk about anything, everything was oh id rather not say... i dont wana get into details, but yeah i did that. Everyone knows that its a known fact most serial killers start out killing animals so i guarantee hes saying that to make it look like hes a true killer. Hes even ignored questions about other ppl hes killed...Serial killers target their victims, this guy is randomly going up to ppl he sees trying to rob them n ends up killing them...sounds more like a gang member to me! I love how gang members kill all sorts of random ppl and arent considered serial killers, but this guy is...
Hahaha- So if you were in a room with him right now, You wouldn't be afraid? Yah right!!!
Nothing clever about him, nothing even close to being a 'lion" about him, nothing but Bubbas newest boy toy as he looks like a total loser the type Bubba likes! Thank God him and that nasty looking GF of his will be behind bars for a long time!
Actually, no, he didn't say he was the Antichrist.
Antichrist is used by idiots that think that Antichrist means that there is Satan walking the Earth. Hughes admitted to being an atheist, and the bible verse says anyone not following Christ is Antichrist.
According to that, Atheists are Antichrist.

I seen a interview of him i think....He rubbed off as the type of person who killed a couple people and he no's hes going to be in prison forever so he made up the whole 15-20 to try and make a 'name' for himself.....Idk i could be wrong but thats the vibe i got..
