Mohan Kumar, 46, admitted to the murders of the women, aged between 18 and 25 after being detained by police on Wednesday in a case involving a missing girl.
According to media reports, Kumar would approach the girls and tell them that they resembled someone he knew, just to strike up a conversation.
After asking them about their family backgrounds, he would meet them for a few times before proposing marriage. He would insist that his family would not want any dowry, as it is the custom among many ethnic groups in India.
If the woman agreed, he would take her to a temple to get married according to Hindu rites.
Investigations showed that each of his "wives" did have a honeymoon before they were murdered. They were taken to different lodges in Bangalore, Mysore, Hassan and Madikeri in the state of Karnataka.
However, soon after having sex, he would make them swallow cyanide pills, which he would claim were contraceptives pills.
