Two more bodies have been found at the house of a US serial killer who has admitted murdering seven people, US authorities said.

The bodies are thought to be those of a couple who were shot and buried on his property almost a year ago.

Todd Kohlhepp, 45, was arrested after a woman was found “chained like a dog” in a shipping container at his home in South Carolina, last week.

The woman, who was employed by Kohlhepp to clean houses, had gone missing in August along with her boyfriend, whose body was later found 80 miles away.

The woman told police she had watched Kohlhepp shoot her boyfriend before he strung her up in the metal container.

Police say she had been held captive for two months.

Kohlhepp, who is a registered sex offender, has been charged with murder and kidnapping.

Police said the two new bodies were identified by their tatoos as Meagan Coxie, 25, and Johnny Coxie, 29. They are believed to have at least one child.

Investigators have said they don’t believe there to be any other bodies left hidden on the property.
