7th Body Linked to Serial Slayer

Detectives using infrared sensors found a decomposing body today in the yard of an Oak Park district home, apparently the seventh victim to be linked to accused serial killer Morris Solomon.

The remains were discovered shortly after 5 a.m. in the same yard where the remains of another victim linked to Solomon were discovered March 19. Solomon, 43, an itinerant handyman who repaired old houses in exchange for free rent, was arraigned earlier this week on murder charges, accused of killing six young women, most of them prostitutes, over a two-year period. He has not yet entered a plea.
