Police investigating a suspected serial killer in eastern Indonesia say they have recovered 10 bodies.

Verry Henyanksyah, aged 30, was arrested last week after his lover's body was found in a suitcase in the capital, Jakarta.

Since then, nine bodies have been found behind his home in East Java province, including those of a mother and her three-year-old daughter.

"There might be more victims in this case," a police spokesman said.

Police say the motive for the killings, said to have occurred over a one-year period, remains unclear. Thieves steal GPS from Czech police chief's car ...

Television footage showed hundreds of villagers gathering in the area on Monday as the authorities dug up decomposed corpses from the ground.
