印度男子十年殺死33名卡車司機(jī)

Indian police have arrested a 48-year-old man who they say has confessed to killing 33 truck drivers and their helpers over the past decade, then selling the vehicles and the goods they were carrying.

印度警方日前逮捕了一名48歲的男子，這名男子招認(rèn)了自己在過去10年里殺害了33名卡車司機(jī)和助手，然后賣掉車輛和貨物。

The man was arrested near the central town of Bhopal, the capital of Madhya Pradesh state, police officer Rahul Kumar Lodha said last Wednesday.

警官拉胡爾·庫馬爾·洛德哈上周三稱，警方是在印度中央邦首府博帕爾逮捕的該男子。

Police stumbled across the man's name as they investigated a string of recent murders of truck drivers in Madhya Pradesh.

警方是在調(diào)查最近一系列有關(guān)中央邦卡車司機(jī)謀殺案時(shí)無意中發(fā)現(xiàn)的這名男子。

While the man was apparently not connected to those killings, some of the seven men arrested told police they had helped him in similar robberies.

盡管他與這些殺人事件無關(guān)，但被逮捕的七名男子中有人告訴警方，在之前類似的搶劫案中曾協(xié)助過他。

The man told police he would befriend drivers in roadside eateries and slip drugs into their food so they would fall asleep, Lodha said.

洛德哈警官稱，這名男子告訴警方，他會(huì)先和在路邊餐館吃飯的司機(jī)成為朋友，然后把迷魂藥下到司機(jī)的食物里將其迷倒。

He would then drive their trucks to isolated areas, strangle them and their helpers, and dump the bodies in forests.

然后，他會(huì)把卡車開到深山老林，勒死司機(jī)和他們的助手，并把尸體拋棄在森林里。

He and his accomplices would then sell the trucks and their goods, Lodha said.

洛德哈警官表示，隨后這名殺人犯會(huì)和他的同伙出售卡車和貨物。

Indian drivers often travel with assistants who help clean their trucks, change tires and other chores.

印度司機(jī)經(jīng)常和助手一起出行，助手會(huì)幫司機(jī)清理卡車、更換輪胎并承擔(dān)其他雜務(wù)。

Between robberies, he worked as a tailor in a small shop in Mandi deep, a village on the outskirts of Bhopal.

在實(shí)施搶劫案的閑暇時(shí)間，這名殺人犯會(huì)在博帕爾郊區(qū)一個(gè)名叫曼迪德埃普的村莊的小商店當(dāng)裁縫。
