The police, who had rounded up some suspects earlier, are saying that they have made some headway into the investigations.
They say that a suspect - after being subjected to brain-mapping and narco-analysis tests - has admitted to the murders.
The tests on the suspect Ravindra Kontrale alias Rahim are being conducted in Bangalore. The 36-year old had been picked up for questioning last month.
- The first murder took place on December 14 near Marine Drive
- The second murder took place five days later near Thackersay Chowk
- Six days later another man was killed near Church gate station
- On January 11, another body was found near the Marine Lines foot over bridge
- The killer left a beer can at the first two crime scenes, which earned him the nickname of "Beer Can Killer"
The victims were mostly pavement dwellers and visitors to the town, but while Rahim has admittedly accepted killing the 15 persons, the police are viewing this just as a lead in the investigations.
They say that they need more clinching evidence as the results of narco-analysis tests are not admissible in the court of law.
The Beer Can Killer struck 15 times. The last murder was of a man at a normally desolated foot over bridge at Marine Lines in south Mumbai.
