Yet another serial killing case in India


Police investigating the sexual murders of two labourers have stumbled on India's second serial killing case in the space of a few days, digging up nine bodies so far in Hyderabad.

"We are recovering bodies one after another," said S Prabhakar Reddy, a top police official.

The killings follow the discovery of skulls from 17 people, mostly children, at a house near New Delhi, in another murder drama that has transfixed India.

Police had arrested two men after two labourers in Hyderabad, a centre for the tech sector, were sodomised and their heads smashed with a boulder.

The arrested men told interrogators they had sodomised or raped and killed 13 people, most of them men but including two women.
