US border agent Juan David Ortiz 'confesses to murders'
17 September 2018
A US border agent has confessed to the murders of four women and the assault of a fifth, police records say.
Juan David Ortiz, a Border Patrol supervisor, was arrested in Laredo, Texas after the assault victim escaped and alerted the authorities.
Police said the murdered women worked as prostitutes, and that Mr Ortiz shot all four in the head.
He made a "voluntary verbal confession" to the murders and assault over a two-week period, police say.
The 35-year-old is being held on a $2.5m (£1.9m) bond for four murders, aggravated assault and unlawful restraint, according to his arrest documents.
