Five more bodies were found outside “where there is a makeshift workshop and rubbish dumpsters”, the statement said.

“Unfortunately, the other five bodies are at the late stage of decomposition. They will be subjected to forensic analysis for identification,” it said.

He is to be charged with six counts of murder.
