CLEVELAND - A RAPIST living in an Ohio home where the bodies of several women have been found was charged Tuesday with five counts of aggravated murder, along with charges of rape, felonious assault and kidnapping.
Anthony Sowell, 50, was to be arraigned Wednesday on the charges, Cleveland Police spokesman Lt Thomas Stacho said on Tuesday.
Police recovered the bodies of six women from the home last week, and a television station reported on Tuesday that two more bodies were removed from Sowell's home.
The bodies were removed after investigators excavated the yard of the home where Sowell lives, WKYC-TV of Cleveland reported on its Web site.
Two coroner's vans arrived shortly before the remains were removed, the report said, and the bodies were being taken to the Cuyahoga County coroner's office.
Mr Stacho could not confirm that additional bodies had been recovered. He said more details would be provided at an evening news conference with Police Chief Michael McGrath. A coroner's spokesman also could not confirm the report. -- AP
