The body of an unkown adult woman has been discovered inside a suitcase that had been thrown into the Red Lake in Cyprus. Authorities believe this is one of the victims of the 35year old alleged serial killer, known with the code name ''Orestis''.


So far the authorities have managed to retrieve one suitcase from the bottom of the lake and located a second one. According to the alleged killer's confession, the lake is where he threw the bodies of 36year old Livia Florentina Bunea 36 from Romania, along with her 8year old daughter, Elena Natalia Bunea and 31year old Maricar Valdez Arquila, from the Philippines.   

According to the coroner, the body belongs to an adult, but the identity of the victim has not been confirmed yet. 

Two members of Scotland Yard will arrive today in Cyprus, to aid with the suspect's interrogation.
