Cyprus faces the prospect of a potential serial killer after police say a detained military officer confessed to killing five foreign women and two girls. 9News

On Thursday, the 35-year-old suspect, who can't yet be named because he hasn't been formally charged, told investigators he had killed four more people than he had previously admitted to.The victims, all foreigners, include Marry Rose Tiburcio, 38, from the Philippines, whose bound body was found on April 14 in a flooded mineshaft. She and her six-year-old daughter had been missing since May of last year.

A third alleged victim, also of Filipino descent, is 31-year-old Maricar Valtez Arquiola, who had been missing since December 2017. The suspect also pointed investigators to a military firing range, where they discovered another unidentified body, which according to the suspect belongs to a woman of either Nepalese or Indian descent.

The man-made lake remains off-limits to a manned search because of high levels of toxic heavy metals from the copper pyrite mine, Fire Service Chief Marcos Trangolas said, adding that authorities will use other means to scour the lake.
