Budapest - Hungarian police found a large amount of bones yesterday in the garden of a house formerly owned by Pastor Andras Pandy, arrested in Belgium on suspicion of killing six members of his family.
The bones were found buried in several places in the garden and in a disused outdoor toilet. They were several years old and police could not tell whether they were human, but forensic experts will start an analysis today, police said.
Mr Pandy, a Hungarian-born naturalised Belgian who taught religion in the Dutch-speaking northern part of Belgium, was arrested last month on suspicion of killing his two wives and four of his eight children. He denies the charges. Pandy's eldest daughter Agnes, who was arrested last Thursday, told police she and her father had shot their victims or bludgeoned them with a sledgehammer.
