The coroner's office in Cleveland says that six bodies found in the home of a convicted rapist were all females and all were homicide victims. At least four apparently had been strangled.

A spokesman with the coroner's office said today that none of the victims found at the home of Anthony Sowell have been identified and decomposition made it difficult to determine how the other two victims died.

The first bodies were found Thursday night when police went to Sowell's home to arrest him on a new rape charge. Police say Sowell had spent 15 years in prison for a 1989 rape.

The 50-year-old Sowell has been arrested on a warrant, but no charges have been filed and police are asking for the public's help in identifying missing people who may have been victims.

Wow, he should have been castrated the first time around. Actually, I believe that the FIRST sexual crime committed should have this penalty, then I bet there would be less of this $h!t.

What a sicko. I mean, it's called a blow-up doll. Get one buddy. Now look what has happened, I just cannot believe the mayhem in this so called world we live in. I have to say, no one is even safe doing daily activities like mowing their lawn, petting a squirrell, eating cheese curds, tap dancing, etc. What a horrid event.

This is a good case for chemical castration of all violent sexual offenders. Perhaps without his 'nads in place, he would have been a model citizen! And what's he doing out of the slammer anyway???????
