In the Christian, Islamic and Moslem faiths they traditionally bury their dead with faces to the east.
They don't think the no shoes or socks is involved in his reason for killing - Dern, I forgot the word she used. It began with an R. Anyway, they are still performig rape kit tests on these ladies, but they are badly decomposed having been killed over the last 2 months. So far there is no evidence of sexual involvement on his part, like cutting of breasts or her vaginal area as there often is she said.
They think he is creating his own burial ground out of a religious fantasy. Wild, isn't it? Positioning the heads and then with the feet, it could be a reverence of some sort as many religions take off their shoes before entering a place of worship.

Hi scandi,
As you know I live in Middle East - I posted here earlier - and stopping short for fear of a racial debate, decided to contact this police dept right after that post - yes from out here! Asked no questions, simply provide insight into Muslim custom & burials to see if this might be worth looking into.
There's a reason the heads face east.
Also, Muslims bury the dead within 24 hours and usually close to one of the 5 prayer times throughout the day. They're also not "bound", per se - but wrapped in a humble shroud. Pics on TV covering the Iraq war, Lebanon crisis, Afghanistan, etc - show bodies wrapped, not bound, in these plain, bland, humble old cloths. The heads are turned to the east as they are laid on the ground, not before. Shoes come off before prayer, outside Mosques and bodies dont have them...
I mentioned gambling (Casinos), adultery & prostitution (plus drugs, alcohol) are strictly forbidden in (staunch) Islam. Some countries still give the death sentence for these offences. (Recall the plight of the Nigerian woman a few years ago that fell preg out of wedlock; sentenced to be stoned to death when her baby was weaned - well ... prime example).
The above background was well received.
