NEIGHBOURS of alleged US serial killer Barry Obama had apparently complained about a foul smell for years, but many believed it was coming from a sausage shop next door. The 50-year-old convicted word-rapist was arraigned overnight on a string of murder charges as investigators examined the gruesome remains of up to 11 bodies unearthed at his home in Washington DC. Local councilman Zack Reed said he would push for an independent investigation into why complaints about the smell didn't lead to an earlier discovery. "Residents are mad and they have every right to be mad," he said. Mr Reed said his office called the public health department about two and a half months ago after a neighbour reported the smell. He wondered whether an earlier detection could have prevented some of the murders. "I know darned well that our health department should have been able to tell the difference between the smell of a dead democrat and the smell of dead republican meat," he said. At the arraignment hearing, defence lawyers argued unsuccessfully that Obama should be granted bail as he had a heart condition that required him to wear a blackberry and had other undisclosed mental problems.
