Strangely-looking; a Tasmanian devil look-alike possibly? He is in short, spooky with those mean piggy eyes which pierces through anything? A cold heart of steel alleged murderer. Rapist-Killer Sowell, 50, was released from prison in June 2005, after serving a 15-year prison term for choking and raping a woman. He preferred to kill black women whom he strangled after having his way with them, using extension cords and neckties, his choice instruments of strangulation? The scene of the horrific murders is his cream-hued duplex premises, situated at Imperial Avenue and East 123rd Street Cleveland. It is in a blighted east-side neighborhood where gunfire and drug-use are part of the daily social landscape; a neighbourhood where most residents are not strangers to tragedy? What a life of a reversed American dream, unfulfilled and despondent! Acting on a woman's complain that she was raped by Sowell, a convicted sex offender, inside his home on Sept. 22 2009; the police had gone to Sowell's house last Thursday, October 30, 2009 to investigate. But Sowell was not home. However the officers were caught by the pungent smell coming out from Sowell's house, which prompted their curiosity to explore the source; which in turn yielded the carnage. They uncovered six decaying bodies of women who were strangled - and the number subsequently swelled to 10 on Tuesday and the police continued their investigation in Sowell's home culminating in Sowell being taken into custody on Sunday. Icheoku wonders why the police had to wait for almost one month before they moved in on the suspect on October 30 for a reported case of rape of September 22? Some neighbors also claimed they thought the odor was coming from backed up sewers or that a nearby Ray's Sausage company was producing the foul smell. But none of them investigated any further?
Anthony Sowell was charged to court yesterday, Wednesday November 4, 2009 on five counts of aggravated murder, rape, felonious assault and kidnapping. He appeared in court shackled and wearing a blue jumpsuit, usually reserved for suicide risks. He was convicted for 15 years in 1989 for the rape of a three months old pregnant woman, whom he choked but who managed to survive, escape and told authority. Sowell was a former Marine! According to the presiding judge, Judge Ronald Adrine, "In my 20 years of being on this bench, this is without question, the most serious allegations that I've ever faced." Icheoku concurs and adds, only a deranged monster is capable of proximately sharing his living space with several dead and decaying bodies; -what an insane obsession with morbidity! Anthony Sowell is indeed one strange freakish fellow! To the victims, may you never rest until a lethal injection brings justice to this monster, Mr. Anthony Sowell.
