 SPARTANBURG, S.C. (AP) — A South Carolina man suspected of being a serial killer was formally charged with three additional counts of murder Monday for bodies found buried on his land. 
 
 The murder warrants against Todd Kohlhepp weren't a surprise. Spartanburg County Sheriff Chuck Wright already said the 45-year-old real estate agent was responsible for those three killings and four more at a motorcycle shop in 2003. 
 
 Kohlhepp was charged with killing 32-year-old Charlie Carver between Aug. 30 and Sept. 2. Carver went to see Kohlhepp with his girlfriend to check on a cleaning job when he was shot and killed and she was kidnapped, authorities said. 
 
 Kohlhepp was arrested Nov. 3 after deputies found Carver's girlfriend chained in a storage container, Wright said. 
 
 Kohlhepp shot 25-year-old Meagan McCraw-Coxie on Christmas or Dec. 26 after holding her against her will for about a week, according to arrest warrants that include a kidnapping charge. 
 
 Her husband, 29-year-old Johnny Coxie was shot and killed a week earlier, a warrant said. 
 
 The Coxies were reported missing last December. Coxie was killed a day after his wife was released from jail. McCraw-Coxie had told her mother she needed to be bonded out so she could go to a job, but then her mother lost contact, Spartanburg County Sheriff's Lt. Kevin Bobo said. 
 
 Kohlhepp already faces four additional murder charges for killing the owner, service manager, mechanic and bookkeeper at a motorcycle shop in 2003. 
 
 Kohlhepp waived a bond hearing Monday night, according to media reports.

 Todd Christopher Kohlhepp, the South Carolina man who investigators say is a serial killer, was charged Monday evening with three more counts of murder — bringing the total to seven. 
 
 Kohlhepp, 45, was arrested early this month when Spartanburg County sheriff's deputies investigating a sex crime tip heard banging sounds coming from a metal container on his property. They found Kala Brown, 30, who had been missing since August, along with her boyfriend, Charlie Carver. 
 
 Brown told investigators that she saw Kohlhepp shoot and kill Carver, whose body was found in a shallow grave. Kohlhepp then led investigators to the grave sites of Meagan Coxie, 25, and Johnny Coxie, 29, authorities said. 
 
 Deputies filed arrest warrants Monday in Spartanburg County Magistrate Court charging Kohlhepp with murder in the deaths of Carver and the Coxies. He was also charged with multiple kidnapping and weapons charges in connection with their deaths.

 Kohlhepp was ordered held without bond Monday night. He was already being held without bond on four other counts of murder from a 2003 quadruple homicide near the town of Chesnee, which Sheriff Chuck Wright has said he has confessed to. 
 
 The Associated Press reported that the new arrest warrants say Kohlhepp shot Meagan Coxie last Christmas or Dec. 26 after holding her against her will. He killed Johnny Coxie the week before, according to the warrants.
– Suspected serial killer Todd Kohlhepp was hit with seven new criminal charges Monday—including the murders of three people who were found buried on his property in South Carolina. NBC News reports that the 45-year-old was charged with the murder of Charlie Carver, whose girlfriend was rescued from a container on Kohlhepp's property earlier this month. The charge sheet shows just how lucky she is to be alive: Kohlhepp is also charged with murdering 29-year-old Johnny Coxie in December last year, then murdering his wife, 25-year-old Meagan Coxie, on Christmas or Dec. 26 after holding her captive for a week. Kohlhepp was also charged with three counts of possession of a weapon during the commission of a violent crime and one count of kidnapping, reports the Greenville News. A police spokesman says Kohlhepp hasn't been charged with kidnapping in the Coxie murders because at this stage in the investigation, it appears that the couple went to his property voluntarily. Kohlhepp—who waived a bond hearing Monday night, per the AP—is now charged with seven murders, including the killings of four people at a motorcycle shop in 2003. (Kohlhepp's mother says he carried out the quadruple murder because he was "bullied and embarrassed" in the store.)
