Police is Rwanda have arrested a suspected serial killer after more than 10 bodies were discovered buried in a hole in the kitchen of his home in the capital, Kigali. This is according to police and local media reports on Wednesday.

Police said the 34-year-old suspected serial killer had lured his victims from bars to his rented home in Kicukiro, a Kigali suburb. Local media said more than 10 bodies had been found.

A source in the Rwanda Investigation Bureau (RIB) told AFP anonymously that the number of victims so far was 14.

RIB spokesman Thierry Murangira declined to confirm a figure. He told AFP that “the final number will be determined by forensic investigations”. The suspect had initially been arrested in July on suspicion of robbery and rape among other offences. However, he was granted bail due to a lack of evidence.

Investigations continued, however, and he was rearrested on Tuesday. His home was searched, leading to the discovery of the bodies dumped in a pit. He had apparently dug this in his kitchen.

“The suspect confessed that he learned to kill from watching famous serial killers. He dissolved some of his victims in acid,” the RIB source said.

“He would study his victims before stalking them. And usually went for those that are most likely not to have close family or friends to look out for them.”

Murangira said the suspect had confessed during interrogation to the killings. Preliminary investigations also found the victims were male and female.

“He operated by luring his victims, mostly prostitutes, to his home where he would rob them of their phones and belongings. He would then strangle them to death and bury them in a hole dug in the kitchen of his rented house,” he added.
