Police dug up six bodies from the backyard of an alleged serial killer's home in Indonesia on Monday, bringing the number of his suspected victims to 11, an official said.
Verry Henyanksyah, 30, was arrested last week after confessing to murdering his lover and leaving the mutilated corpse in a suitcase in Jakarta, police spokesman Abu Bakar Nataprawira said.
Last week, four bodies were found behind Henyanksyah's home in Jombang, a town in East Java province. On Monday, police and local villagers dug up six more corpses, including those of a woman and her 3-year-old daughter, Nataprawira said.
Television footage showed hundreds of villagers gathering around the field Monday as authorities pulled severely decomposed corpses from the ground. Police said the bodies showed signs of being hit.
Police said the motive for the alleged killings, believed to have occurred over a one-year period, remained unclear.
