SANTIAGO (Reuters) - Chilean authorities have accused a Colombian man of murdering at least seven people, including several who were homeless on the streets of the capital Santiago.

Police arrested Diego Ruiz Restrepo, 30, on Monday after using surveillance camera images to identify him, the regional prosecutor's office said on Twitter. The suspect, who authorities said entered Chile several years ago as a tourist, was due to appear before a judge on Friday.
