套近乎再下藥 印度男子十年殺死33名卡車司機
Indian police have arrested a 48-year-old man who they say has confessed to killing 33 truck drivers and their helpers over the past decade, then selling the vehicles and the goods they were carrying.
印度警方日前逮捕了一名48歲的男子，這名男子招認了自己在過去10年裏殺害了33名卡車司機和助手，然後賣掉車輛和貨物。The man was arrested near the central town of Bhopal, the capital of Madhya Pradesh state, police officer Rahul Kumar Lodha said last Wednesday.
警官拉胡爾·庫馬爾·洛德哈上週三稱，警方是在印度中央邦首府博帕爾逮捕的該男子。Police stumbled across the man's name as they investigated a string of recent murders of truck drivers in Madhya Pradesh.
警方是在調查最近一系列有關中央邦卡車司機謀殺案時無意中發現的這名男子。
While the man was apparently not connected to those killings, some of the seven men arrested told police they had helped him in similar robberies.
儘管他與這些殺人事件無關，但被逮捕的七名男子中有人告訴警方，在之前類似的搶劫案中曾協助過他。
The man told police he would befriend drivers in roadside eateries and slip drugs into their food so they would fall asleep, Lodha said.
洛德哈警官稱，這名男子告訴警方，他會先和在路邊餐館吃飯的司機成爲朋友，然後把迷魂藥下到司機的食物裏將其迷倒。He would then drive their trucks to isolated areas, strangle them and their helpers, and dump the bodies in forests.
然後，他會把卡車開到深山老林，勒死司機和他們的助手，並把屍體拋棄在森林裏。He and his accomplices would then sell the trucks and their goods, Lodha said.
洛德哈警官表示，隨後這名殺人犯會和他的同夥出售卡車和貨物。Indian drivers often travel with assistants who help clean their trucks, change tires and other chores.
印度司機經常和助手一起出行，助手會幫司機清理卡車、更換輪胎並承擔其他雜務。Between robberies, he worked as a tailor in a small shop in Mandideep, a village on the outskirts of Bhopal.
在實施搶劫案的閒暇時間，這名殺人犯會在博帕爾郊區一個名叫曼迪德埃普的村莊的小商店當裁縫。
