Accused serial killer Kohlhepp indicted on all charges, including seven murders

Feb. 28 (UPI) -- A Spartanburg County, S.C., grand jury indicted Todd Kohlhepp on all charges related to seven murders in 2016, court documents say.

The indictments were handed down on Tuesday.

Kohlhepp, 45, a registered sex offender who spent 15 years in prison for kidnapping, faces 12 charges including seven counts of murder, two counts of kidnapping and weapons violations. He was arrested in November for the murder of Charles Carver, Megan Moxie and Johnny Moxie.

Documents in the court case reveal that Kohlhepp said he hired the Moxies to clean his property, and that he shot and killed Johnny Moxie in what Kohlhepp said was a robbery attempt. The documents also say Kohlhepp shot Megan Moxie to death after she was restrained for six days. Carver, the boyfriend of a Kala Brown, a woman found alive by police in November after she was restrained in a shipping container for two months on Kohlhepp's property, was allegedly also shot to death by Kohlhepp. Carver and Brown were also hired to do cleaning work at the property.

Kohlhepp was initially charged in the 2003 shooting deaths of four people at a local motorcycle shop. Police said Kohlhepp confessed to all seven killings.

Motions in civil suits against Kohlhepp, filed after his arrest, will begin in March. They include a personal injury complaint by Brown, and a wrongful death suit filed by Carver's estate.
