Suspected serial killer Kevin Lino linked to multiple Massachusetts deaths: DA

Authorities say they have revealed the identity of a high-profile English serial killer suspected of being linked to a spate of murders across the country over the past decade, as rumors continued to swirl about much of the region earlier this year.

Kevin Lino, 38, was charged in August with the murders of two Massachusetts men in 2010 and 2012, the Middlesex County District Attorney’s Office said.

“Mr. Lino is a serial killer,” Middlesex County District Attorney Marian Ryan said, in accordance with Boston 25 News. “The Department of Justice defines a serial killer as someone who has taken the lives of two people in different circumstances. In this case, we have already given two charges.”

For months, rumors of the murder of a man in England have terrorized the local community after the bodies of more than a dozen people were found across Rhode Island, Maine, Connecticut and Massachusetts. Lino was not connected to any of these deaths.
