CLEVELAND—Authorities say more remains have been discovered at the Cleveland home of a convicted rapist, raising to at least 10 the number of bodies that have been found there.
Police say four more bodies and a skull were found Tuesday at the home, where the remains of six women were removed last week.
Police Chief Michael McGrath says the additional bodies were found Tuesday in the backyard of the home where 50-year-old Anthony Sowell lives. The skull was found in the basement.
Last week, investigators said they found one body in a shallow grave in the backyard. The rest were inside the house.
Sowell is in jail and was charged Tuesday with five counts of aggravated murder and with rape, felonious assault, kidnapping.

Castration probably wouldn’t have solved the problem. Rapists aren’t in it for the sex, they’re in it for the power they hold over a victim. There is a good chance that more bodies would have been piled up in this guys house.
As far as serial rapists go, there is only one sure way of dealing with them. Put them down like the dirty animals that they are.
A convicted rapist in which some court/judge deemed fit to be back in society among other people. Great idea! Should have castrated him the first time!
If I was a rapist and I got caught because the victim identified me, what would I do the next time to help ensure that I wouldn’t get caught, oh yeah, kill them afterwards and bury them in my backyard. Wow that was a hard puzzle to figure out.
