The serial killer in Cyprus has confessed the crimes on paper

An army officer suspected of killing at least seven people in Cyprus reportedly confessed the serial killings in writing, saying he wanted to "go to jail." While Scotland Yard's detective joined the police in investigating the crimes described as unseen, local media said the Greek Cypriot suspect decided to confess the deaths of five foreign women and two children when he realized that the evidence against him was irrefutable .

Police also say the suspect, who is in detention, but who has not been charged, has accepted the murders. Female victims were employed for cleaning on families on the island. "I'm upset. I want to go to jail. Bring some papers so I can write everything, "said the suspect, identified as 35-year-old Nikos Metaxas, by the leading daily Politis before making the 10-page story. The National Guard captain acknowledged that he used the nickname Orestis to meet women in a meeting app. Four bodies have been found so far by police and searches are continuing on the lake, where it is said he has thrown 3 of the women's bodies. A woman's remains were found in a suitcase in the toxic waters of a lake on Sunday. The body was completely worn and in an advanced stage of decomposition. The victim is believed to be either Livia Bunea, a 36-year-old Romanian who was reported missing with her eight-year-old daughter, Elena Natalia, in September 2016, or 30-year-old Maricar Arquila from the Philippines who disappeared in December 2017. The other three victims were found naked, tied and wrapped in a sheet. They are both Filipinos and Nepalese Troop search was hindered by poor visibility from polluted lake water, a by-product of mining years in the area. Greek Cypriot authorities are under criticism of the perceived weakness that has dealt with cases of foreign women reported as missing on the island. It is reported that the island has a number of unsolved cases of missing persons, who are believed to be emigrant women. The easternmost state of the EU has a significant population of Filipino workers from the middle class of the island. The murders came to light last month when heavy rains revealed the body of a 38-year-old Filipino, Mary Rose Tiburcio, hiding in an abandoned copper mine near a lake. A tourist who recognized the body when shooting in the area immediately contacted the police. Her six-year-old daughter and daughter had disappeared nearly a year ago. Six days later, the remains of a second Filipino, named as Arian Palanas Lozano, were also found there.
