I actually saw him in court as they led him through his murders and had him describe in detail just how he went about them.
Really bizarre. He was very business-like about it. It was full of recounting how he'd strangle or suffocate men, women, and children, then go on to the next, then find out that one or two were still alive and moving and then going back to finish them off, etc.
In one account he mentioned that after he'd killed a woman he had to hurry and gather his things and leave because he had a previous engagement to attend and didn't want to be late.
As of yet, he's expressed no regrets about any of it, though they say he probably will at the sentencing hearing.
