He allegedly killed four women after Anitha. In 2009 alone, nine women were killed for the jewellery and the money they carried. All of them died in public toilets at bus stations in Mysore, Bangalore, Madikere and Hassan.

His method was simple. He observed unmarried working women from middle-income and lower-income backgrounds at bus stops and became friendly with them.
