were not at their home in Kohtla-Järve. While in an intoxicated state, the man told his guests to turn down the TV so he could sleep. Irritated by this remark, Sulimov went to the bedroom where the man was sleeping and proceeded to suffocate him with a pillow. His girlfriend stumbled into the room, and after realizing that the man was dying, she unsuccessfully tried to resuscitate him. Understanding that he had killed him, Sulimov poured cologne on the body and lit it on fire with some matches. While the room was burning down, the pair stole several items from the household, amounting to 410 kroons. Not long after the crime scene was discovered, Sulimov was quickly identified as the perpetrator and promptly arrested.

Sulimov was out drinking with a friend when the pair noticed a disabled elderly berry picket waiting at a bus stop. Seemingly disgusted by his physical deformities, the pair attacked the old man, with
Sulimov kicking and beating him, while his accomplice used a hammer to strike the man on the head. After the victim stopped showing signs of life, both of them calmly returned home. To their shock, however, the elderly man was brought to the hospital and survived his injuries after several complex surgeries, managing to identify his assailants afterwards. Not long after, Sulimov was taken into custody, and jailed at a remand center until he could stand trial.

for further treatment. At a June 1, 1993, court hearing, Sulimov was allowed to spend time in a psychiatric facility with a less strict regime, after examinations proved that he was sane, but suffered from an intellectual disability and possible psychopathic personality, which resulted in poor impulse control. Despite these warnings, Sulimov was sent to a general psychiatric hospital in

On June 14, he was officially released from the Ahtme Psychiatric Hospital, after experts concluded that he had been officially "cured" and capable of understanding the gravity of his actions, and was only to be monitored by a ward psychiatrist in isolated periods.

After his release, Sulimov found a job in the engineering industry, where he aided in developing explosive devices, and even found himself a girlfriend, a fellow drunkard like himself. On July 9, 1994, Sulimov and his girlfriend were invited to a house party by an acquaintance whose wife and children

November 11, Sulimov got into a quarrel with his cellmate, as the latter refused to help clean up the dirty cell. Later in the evening, while the man slept, Sulimov pressed his boots against his head and neck, and used some rope to strangle the man. The rope broke, and so, Sulimov dragged the man

District Court ordered that he be psychiatrically examined, with the prison psychologists ruling that
Sulimov was mentally unstable. Shortly after, he was transferred to a closed psychiatric hospital, where he remained until April 29, 1992, when he was taken to the Tallinn Psychoneurology Hospital

Described as an irritable, violent criminal child by his mother, Sulimov's first recorded offence occurred on May 19, 1983, when the 16-year-old was arrested for theft. Although found guilty, his sentencing was delayed for two years and he was allowed to roam free. Four months later, on August 13,
220:, he was transferred to a mental asylum in 1986. On February 16, Sulimov and two other inmates attacked another prisoner in the smoking area, with Juri using a sharpened object to inflict 10 wounds to the man's vital organs, killing him.

When the death penalty punishment was abolished in the country in 1998, Sulimov's sentence was automatically converted to a life sentence. As of 2021, he is still alive and remains one of the oldest serving prisoners in
Estonia.
