Police: 4 more bodies found at Ohio rapist's home

By JOHN SEEWER and THOMAS J. SHEERAN Associated Press Writers


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.
 
(This version CORRECTS that it was the police chief who confirmed the four additional bodies were found.)
