A former police officer in El Salvador is suspected of murdering dozens of people and is facing at least four counts of homicide, with mostly women, and buried them in his residence, which has been dubbed the "House of Horrors."
Hugo Osorio, 51, allegedly told investigators that there may be up to 40 victims buried in his Chalchuapa property, according to a now-deleted report by Revista Factum. Officials have discovered at least 17 remains, according to Reuters.
On the night of May 7, neighbors reported hearing a woman scream as she escaped the "horror house," only to be pursued by Osorio, who reportedly struck her in the head with a metal bar and pulled her back inside.
Osorio had enticed Jacquelinne Palomo Lima, 26, and her mother with promises of information regarding Palomo's missing brother, Alexis.
Palomo, her brother, and her mother were found murdered by the time officials responded to the scene, along with another 14 victims recovered in a mass grave behind the house, Justice and Security Minister Gustavo Villatoro told the media.
