Cleveland Police: Four Additional Bodies Found
AP (2009-11-03)
CLEVELAND, OH (wosu) - Police say four more bodies and a skull have been found at the Cleveland home of a convicted rapist where police last week removed the remains of six women.

Police Lt. Thomas Stacho says the additional bodies were found Tuesday in the backyard of the home where 50-year-old Anthony Sowell lives. The skull was found with a bucket in the basement.

Last week, investigators said they found one body in a shallow grave in the backyard. The rest were inside the house.

The bodies were removed after investigators brought cadaver dogs and digging equipment to the yard.

Sowell is in jail and was charged Tuesday with five counts of aggravated murder, and with rape, felonious assault, kidnapping.
