Bodies of 7 women found in US state
Print Edition
THE bodies of seven women have now been found in Indiana in the United States, after a man confessed to killing one woman who was found strangled at a motel and leading investigators to at least three other bodies, authorities said yesterday.
The coroner’s office said three of the bodies were found Sunday night at two locations in Gary, in addition to the four bodies found earlier over the weekend. The coroner’s office called the new deaths homicides, with one victim strangled and unspecified injuries for the other two women.
It wasn’t immediately clear yesterday whether the man directed police to the three bodies Sunday night.
Police said Sunday that a 43-year-old man confessed to killing a woman whose body was found in a motel in the neighboring city of Hammond and told investigators where the bodies of three other women could be found in Gary. Those women were found late Saturday and early Sunday.
Gary police found the bodies of three women at different locations in Gary, following up on information the man provided during questioning, Hammond police Lieutenant Rich Hoyda said Sunday. The county coroner’s office on Sunday identified the victim found in Hammond as 19-year-old Afrika Hardy and ruled she had been strangled.
The coroner’s office said a second victim had been identified by family members as 35-year-old Anith Jones. Autopsies had not yet been completed on her or the other two women, who have not yet been identified.
