Suspected serial killer arrested in Ohio, after six bodies discovered in house
Police in Cleveland are holding Anthony Sowell, 50, after a major manhunt
A suspected serial killer has been arrested in America after six bodes were discovered hidden in and around his house.
Anthony Sowell, 50, was arrested in Cleveland, Ohio, after police received a tip-off as to his whereabouts. Sowell had become the subject of a major manhunt after the gruesome discovery of half a dozen corpses at his house in a poor neighbourhood that has struggled with crime and drug problems. Police had set up an emergency response centre and celebrated when news broke that he had been picked up.
Police had originally been looking to question Sowell after a woman accused him of rape and assault a month ago. Cops then obtained an arrest and search warrant and went to his house last Thursday looking to question him about the attack.
Sowell, however, was not at home. But cops quickly made the horrific discovery that the property hid the bodies of several suspected murder victims. On the third floor of the home two badly decomposed corpses were found. Then they found a freshly dug grave containing another body in the basement. Later two more bodies were found in a crawl space in the house. Finally a search of the land around the house turned up yet another grave, containing a sixth body.
