A man is due in court in Cleveland, Ohio, accused of killing three women whose bodies were found wrapped in bin bags.
Michael Madison, 35, is being held on a 6 million US dollars bond.
A Cuyahoga County grand jury indicted Madison on six counts of aggravated murder, two for each victim under different killing theories.
He is also charged with three counts of kidnapping, three counts of gross abuse of a corpse, one count of rape and one count of weapon possession by an ex-convict.
East Cleveland police found one body on July 19 when a caller reported a foul smell coming from a garage. Two more bodies were found the next day.
