A serial killer who liked to break young girls' legs before raping and murdering them confessed to nine similar attacks, Indian authorities say.

The suspect, named in the Indian media as 'Sunil', was arrested for the brutal rape and killing of a three-year-old girl but while being interrogated admitted to a series of similar violent sex attacks.

Following a huge manhunt he was arrested in Magarpur village, Uttar Pradesh, yesterday, after the toddler was killed around 320 miles away in Gurugram, a city south west of New Delhi on November 12.

The 20-year-old allegedly targeted little girls, usually in slums, before subjecting them to violent attacks, it was said.

He would hang around food stalls known as 'bhandaras' - community kitchens offering free food during religious festivals - where he would lure his victims with sweets and chocolates, police said.

Sunil, who was said to roam from place-to-place and sleep wherever he could, also reportedly told police that breaking the girl's leg with a brick before raping her was a 'ritual that aroused him'.

Her remains were found the day after she was reported missing just 300 yards away from where she was taken, with her skull fractured after she was struck on the head with a brick.

Medical examiners say she died from 'the head injury and excessive internal bleeding'.

According to the Times of India, Sunil could be one of the worst paedophile-serial killers 'known to Indian law enforcement agencies'.

Police say Sunil allegedly raped and murdered at least nine pre-adolescents girls in Delhi, Gurugram, Gwalior and Jhansi over a two-year period.

The first of his known victims was a four-year-old child who he was said to have kidnapped in 2016 before another girl was found in January last year with head and leg injuries.

Investigating officer Sumit Kuhar, said he would take his alleged victims to abandoned areas and could not be traced because he did not have a mobile phone or a fixed place to live or work.

He added: 'He told us all he wanted was tasty food at bhandaras and young girls to satisfy his lust.

'We are shocked by his confessions as he not only raped and killed three young girls in Gurugaram but four in Delhi, one in Jhansi and another in Gwalior in the last two years.

'He remembers the rapes, connecting them to the bhandaras he had gone to. He would target children who came to get ‘prasad’ or free food and were alone.

'He chose children who were alone and away from their homes. He would take them to desolate places and even dump the bodies in desolate areas. He had no fixed place to eat or sleep, no fixed place of work place and didn’t carry a cellphone.'
