Contract Killer Admits 40 Killings

2 Timothy 3:1-8 But realize this, that in the last days difficult times will come. For men will be lovers of self, lovers of money, boastful, arrogant, revilers, disobedient to parents, ungrateful, unholy, unloving, irreconcilable, malicious gossips, without self-control, brutal, haters of good, treacherous, reckless, conceited, lovers of pleasure rather than lovers of God, holding to a form of godliness, although they have denied its power; Avoid such men as these. For among them are those who enter into households and captivate weak women weighed down with sins, led on by various impulses, always learning and never able to come to the knowledge of the truth. Just as Jannes and Jambres opposed Moses, so these men also oppose the truth, men of depraved mind, rejected in regard to the faith.

A man who calls himself a contract killer reportedly confessed to police of killing at least 40 people.

Jose Manuel Martinez, 51, told investigators that he was an enforcer for a drug cartel and carried out multiple murders at the command of the cartel leaders.  Martinez is facing a trial in Alabama on a single murder charge and then a trial in California for at least nine others.

Martinez was arrested last year as he was crossing the border into Arizona.

Errek Jett, district attorney for Lawrence County, Alabama, said that he believes Martinez because he told investigators details that only the killer would be able to know.

Florida officials also say they want to question Martinez in connection with gang related murders in their states.

Police say that the possibility Martinez was the killer came to light during an investigation into a series of home invasion robberies in 2012.
