New Jersey bodies 'not dumped by one serial killer': Police

US police have revealed that they no longer suspect that a serial killer dumped up to 10 bodies along a stretch of beach in New Jersey.

A number of human remains found in the area around Gligo beach on Long Island have been identified, including four prostitutes who'd advertised on the same website.

The bodies of an Asian male and a female toddler were also recovered.

But police now say the picturesque spot appears to have been a dumping ground for as many as four separate murders and there is no evidence of a serial killer at work.
