A BROOKLYN man accused of the so-called Dracula murders will soon learn his fate. A jury has begun deliberations in the trial of Russian immigrant Dmitriy Yakovlev who is accused of killing two people and stealing their identities. When they were dead, Yakovlev would loot their assets.

ACCORDING TO THE NY POST: Prosecutors say a trail of financial transactions, credit-card charges and cash-machine withdrawals show that Russian immigrant Dmitriy Yakovlev quickly tried to drain his victims' accounts.
Irina Malezhik, a 47-year-old Russian translator, vanished in October 2007 after business dealings with Yakovlev, and has never been found.
The second alleged victim, Viktor Alekseyev, had been involved in a real-estate transaction with Yakovlev before he vanished.
Cops later discovered dismembered parts of Alekseyev's body in a woods in northern New Jersey. The Dracula death mask was discovered nearby, although nothing links it to the slayings.
Yakovlev also had checks, totaling more than $300,000, that had been made out to Michael Klein, a retired NYPD civilian employee who disappeared in 2003 within hours of selling his house. Klein has never been found.
