Two suspected serial killers arrested in Mexico City

MEXICAN police were holding two accused serial killers in custody yesterday - a female ex-wrestler suspected in the deaths of at least 10 elderly women, and a former soldier accused of torturing and killing at least four gay men.

The news was shocking to Mexico City which, although accustomed to crime, rarely sees serial killings.

On Wednesday, a former professional wrestler, originally mistaken for a man, was captured while fleeing a house where an 82-year-old woman had been strangled with a stethoscope.
