- •A Russian national was arrested in Goa, confessing to 'granting salvation' to 15 Russian women, though police have concrete evidence for only two murders so far.
- •The accused views murder as a religious act, not a crime, and is repeatedly changing statements, making the investigation challenging for Goa Police.
- •Police are conducting extensive raids in Mandrem and other North Goa areas, searching forests and secluded places for evidence.
- •The Russian embassy has been contacted for the accused's records, and missing foreign tourist lists are being re-examined.
- •Authorities are investigating potential local accomplices and checking the accused's passport and visa status, as the case could be Goa's largest involving a foreign serial killer.
Why It Matters: Goa Police are investigating a Russian national's confession of killing 15 women, facing challenges due to his misleading statements.
