A doctor has opened up about his act of serial killing shocking many people.
The doctor from Maharashtra’s Wai town of India, who was arrested
on Friday on charges of abduction and murder of a woman, confessed to
killing at least six persons between 2003 and 2016 by administering them
lethal overdose of medicines.
According to Deccan Chronicle, the Senior inspector of Wai police
station said the doctor, identified as Santosh Pol, admitted to
murdering four more women and one man. He is in police custody till
August 19.
The Wai police on Monday night recovered the bodies of five people
from Pol’s farmhouse, about 13 kms from Wai, and are interrogating him
for the whereabouts of the sixth body. Pol, who is being called "Dr. Death," has told the police that he threw the sixth body in a dam in 2008.
At least five women were reported missing from Wai town since 2003.
Pol revealed about the details of his crimes during an
interrogation into the murder of Mangal Jedhe, a 49-year old anganwadi
worker.
Pol with the assistance of a nurse had allegedly abducted Jedhe,
president of Maharashtra Purva Prathmik Shikshika Sevika Sangh (MPPSSS),
and murdered her with the overdose of some medicines on June 16. They
buried Jedhe's body near Pol's farmhouse.
“Jedhe went missing after she threatened Pol that she would
expose his shady activities. Our information is that she was abducted
from the Wai bus station by Pol and his nurse Jyoti Mandre and taken to
his farm house where she was killed after administering overdose of some
medicines,” MPPSSS general secretary Shaukat Pathan said.
The five other victims have been identified as Salma Shaikh, Jagabai Pol, Surekha Chikane, Vanita Gaikwad and Nathmal Bhandari.
Police suspect Pol’s lust for women could be one of the reasons
behind the serial murders, however they are yet to determine the real
motive. Satara Superintendent of Police Sandip Patil said that illicit
relations and greed for gold and money might have prompted Pol to
execute these killings.
Widening its net in the case, Satara police is now probing the authenticity of the alleged serial killer's medical degree too.
