US truck painter Gary Ridgway, aged 54, has admitted in a Seattle court that he had murdered 48 women. The tragic series has become known in the country as the Green River killings as many of the victims' remains were found near the Green River, just south of Seattle. "I wanted to kill as many women as I thought were prostitutes as I possibly could," the murderer said in his statement. Ridgway is said to have more victims on his record than any other serial killer in US history. He had been one of the main suspects in the case for years before a breakthrough DNA test linked him to several victims.
