They actually questioned him a first time, but released him because his seminal antigens did not match the blood antigens, or something like that. Later on, they found out that this was actually a mistake! ARGH!
But anyone, if you can stomach it, read the full story on Crime Library.com - it pretty much tells the full story.
One thing about Chikatilo - he definitely had some deviancy going on, but I don't know if you can really say that he had 'mental illness'. Whereas, that Chinese student at Va.Tech who did the beheading and Vince Li (Greyhound bus killer and beheader) - they were both Chinese Nationals and I would predict that they both have some type of schizophrenia going on.
But yeah, I stand by my statement that China is behind the times in terms of being "up" on things like mental illness.
