BRIDGEPORT, Conn. — A judge has ordered Emanuel Lovell Webb to be held on $4 million bond, pending his trial for a series of murders. Webb was extradited from Georgia to Bridgeport on Feb. 14, for allegedly murdering four women during the early 1990s. Webb was already behind bars in Georgia, where he was serving a prison sentence for murdering a woman in 1994, during what he described as "wild sex." Bridgeport prosecutors now say Webb is also responsible for the murders of Elizabeth Gandy, 34; Sharon Cunningham, 39; Minnie Sutton, 37; and Sheila Etheridge, 29. According to court documents, a cold case squad used DNA evidence to link Webb to the murders.
MUMBAI, INDIA — New details are emerging in the "beer-can killer" serial killer investigation. According to Mumbai Police, most of the victims were sodomized after they were killed. On Feb. 19, Ravindra Kantrole confessed to committing four of the murders. Three days later, Mumbai authorities announced he had confessed to nearly two-dozen others, after being injected with sodium penthanol. Kantrole is expected to receive more injections of the truth serum drug in the coming days.
SPRINGFIELD, Ill. — The Illinois Supreme Court has upheld the conviction of Andrew Urdiales, 42, and set a date for his execution. However, that date is subject to change, due to a moratorium by Governor Rod Blagojevich on Illinois' death penalty. Urdiales was sentenced to die in 2003, for killing two Chicago-area women and again in 2004, for the murder of an Indiana woman. Since his incarnation, Urdiales has confessed to killing seven other women between 1988 and 1996.
