Holding his head high and staring dead-eyed straight ahead outside the Manhattan Criminal Court, suspected serial killer Nicholas Brent Gibson nonchalantly confessed to 32 murders in front of a gaggle of reporters.

Gibson, 32, at first claimed to have killed 77-year-old Erik Stocker with his bare hands, then seemingly contradicted himself by saying that he used a big sword, and alleged that the victim wanted to die. 

The Florida drifter was arrested nearly two weeks ago on in the a New York City subway in connection to the killing of his former housemate, Stocker, who was stabbed with a samurai sword inside the Miami Beach apartment the two men shared in April.
