He told the police that he killed four people in his apartment, which is 200 miles away.

He then said that Hangud remained calm and straightforward when he was at the police station but did not tell them the reason for the killing. The police officials have denied speaking on the way the victims were killed. The man is in the custody ever since and has been charged with four murders.
