Police said they found the bodies of three women, which were wrapped in plastic, in East Cleveland. They identified the prime suspect as Michael Madison.

Authorities said they found two female bodies at a vacant house on Saturday, reported News Net 5 television. A third woman’s body was also found in another location on Friday.

The three victims were believed to have been killed in the past six to 10 days, police said.

All three bodies were wrapped in plastic. East Cleveland Police Chief Ralph Spotts told Fox-8 television that two of the bodies appear to be black females, but it is difficult to tell because they are badly decomposed.

One of the victims had a tattoo of a flower and the other one had a purple leotard, he said.

Madison, 35, was charged in connection with the case. He was arrested following a standoff with police at his mother’s home.

Authorities said that Madison gave them more information that suggests there are other bodies in the area.
