'Green River Killer' expected to admit to 48 murders

A suspected serial killer in the US has agreed to plead guilty next week to the murders of 48 women in a deal that would spare him from execution, according to reports.

The 54-year-old truck painter arrested in 2001 as the so-called “Green River Killer”, will admit to murdering 42 women on investigators’ list of victims in that case, as well as six women not on the list, said the source, who is involved in the case.
