CLEVELAND — Authorities in Ohio now confirm six bodies were found in the home of a rape suspect arrested Saturday.

Coroner’s spokesman Powell Caesar in Cleveland says the three additional decomposing bodies were confirmed Saturday and autopsies have been done on all six. No cause of death was announced.

Earlier Saturday police arrested the suspect several blocks from his home. Charges are pending.

Police found the first two of six bodies Thursday night when they went to the home of 50-year-old Anthony Sowell, who was convicted in a 1989 rape.

He is a murderer- Death Penalty! 6 Bodies? Probably more that have not been found. ANY RAPE should be considered violent- it is not with consent. Tortured victims and victims that are threatened with knives, guns, etc are ESPECIALLY VIOLENT He is a waste of a human life- as is anyone doing the same. He should be shown no mercy- do whatever to him and then kill him. He has shown prison does not work!

Try him in court and if found guilty, kill him at once. The extremely expensive care that would be wasted putting trash like that in jail for life is exacly the kind of crap we need to cut from the budgets.

I’m fine with any or all of those suggestions.

MRVA,
Castration alone will not cure the urges for rapist committing rape.  Might I suggest a lobotomy in addition to castration?

Rape is a crime of violence and control, so castration only takes away the means to commit the violence. I’d like to see the death penalty imposed on rapists, murderers and child molesters.

You cannot rehabilitate this type of criminal. They are operating on base instincts that are grossly skewed. I don’t care about the whiners who say that two wrongs don’t make a right or any other namby pamby excuse for coddling violent criminals. One thing that is absolutely certain about giving a rapist, child molester or murderer the death penalty: they will NEVER do it again.

These scumbags never change, with the exception of graduating from rape to murder. Castration for all rapists. And death to the murders.
