Ga. homicide suspect extradited to Conn.

BRIDGEPORT, Conn. (AP) -- A Georgia man accused of strangling four women more than a decade ago was ordered held on 4 million bond Thursday after being extradited to Connecticut.
Emanuel Lovell Webb, 40, arrived in the state Wednesday night and appeared Thursday in Bridgeport Superior Court, where he did not enter a plea.
The four women Webb is charged with killing were found dead near the place he lived in Bridgeport in the early 1990s, police said. Three of the women were mutilated or disfigured, police said.
Webb was in custody in Georgia when he was charged last year with the strangling death of 34-year-old Elizabeth "Maxine" Gandy in 1993. Detectives said they also used DNA to link him to the deaths of Sharon Cunningham, 39, Minnie Sutton, 37, and Sheila Etheridge, 29.
The four women were among more than a dozen killed in Bridgeport in the late 1980s and early 1990s.
Detectives investigated whether Webb was involved in up to six other homicides, but Bridgeport State's Attorney Jonathan Benedict said he did not expect Webb to be charged with additional killings.
