SPARTANBURG, S.C., Safar 6, 1438, Nov 6, 2016, SPA -- A South Carolina man accused of holding a woman chained inside a storage container was denied bond Sunday after investigators said he also confessed to an unsolved quadruple murder that happened 13 years ago, AP reported. Authorities have charged Todd Kohlhepp, 45, with four counts of murder in the deaths of four people in 2003 at the Superbike Motorsports motorcycle shop in Chesnee, South Carolina. His alleged role in those killings was uncovered, authorities said, after the woman was found last week in a locked metal container on Kohlhepp's property in rural Woodruff. Kohlhepp's arrest has put to rest for local law enforcement and the families of the victims a mystery that has haunted them for more than a decade. "We got 'em today. We got 'em today. I'm rejoicing that this community can know that four people who were brutally murdered, there's no wondering about it anymore," Sheriff Chuck Wright said late Saturday night. Kohlhepp is also charged with the woman's kidnapping, and prosecutors say more charges are expected. -- SPA 23:08 LOCAL TIME 20:08 GMT www.spa.gov.sa/w
