- By MARGARET NEIGHBOUR

Am an who has confessed to killing seven foreign women and girls in Cyprus is being investigat­ed on additional charges of raping a foreign woman he had photograph­ed as a model.

Criminal Investigat­ion Department chief Neophytos Shailos told a court in Nicosia yesterday that the suspect had raped the 19- year-old in his car in early 2017 when he picked her up to give her the photograph­s.

He said the 35-year- old army captain had videoed the alleged rape on his cellphone.

The court extended the suspect’ s detention for another eight days.

He has not been named because he has not yet been charged in what authoritie­s are calling the most horrifying multiple- killing case that Cyprus has seen.
