BRATISLAVA, July 24 (Xinhua) -- Slovak police arrested one of the most brutal murderers in the country's history, National Crime Agency director Peter Hrasko announced on Monday.

"Miroslav from Zliechov in the Western Slovakia has killed at least three people. The deeds were carried out in a very brutal manner. I don't even want to describe them. It's obvious that the accused is facing a lifetime sentence," stressed Hrasko.

According to Hrasko, the police found the homicide only by accident, as a certain police officer noticed that various people went missing in places where one specific person had temporarily stayed at the time -- Miroslav.

"The man strangled his own cohabiter, who had wanted to abandon him, further a man whose wife complained to him on an internet chat forum that she was being abused, and finally a woman that he also had found on a chat forum. Miroslav then burned all his victims, with the police still trying to identify them after the killer showed where he had buried them," Hrasko said.

Moreover, it may emerge that the man has in fact killed even more people, as the 18-month old daughter of one of the women he murdered is also missing, among other people linked to Miroslav's whereabouts.
