Bodies of seven women discovered in Indiana

The bodies of seven women have been found in Indiana after a man confessed to killing one woman and led investigators to at least three other bodies, authorities said.

The coroner’s office said three of the bodies were found on Sunday night at two locations in Gary, a city about 30 miles (50 kilometres) south east of Chicago, while the other four bodies were 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.
