The officer is widely acknowledged to be Cyprus’ first serial killer. (Petros Karadjias/Associated Press)NICOSIA, Cyprus — A man 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, a police investigator said Sunday. The woman, a 19-year-old foreign citizen, had called the suspect’s wife at the time and told her what had happened, he said. Cyprus President Nicos Anastasiades, who on Saturday called the suspect a “serial killer,” last week apologized to diplomats of the countries of the victims and vowed to bolster protections for foreign workers in Cyprus.
