SERIAL KILLER CREEPY ANTHONY SOWELL: 'I'M SORRY'

CREEPY TONY

TALK about too little, too late.
In a last desperate bid to avoid the death penalty, convicted serial killer, creepy Anthony Sowell told the court: "I'm sorry."
The 51-year-old was found guilty of luring 11 women to his Cleveland, OH apartment often with the promise of booze or crack cocaine.
But after smoking the drug he turned, repeatedly raping them and beating them to death.
When he ran out of the room to bury the body's in his back garden, he kept them lying around his apartment, causing an almighty stink in the neighborhood.
After refusing to testify during the case itself, Sowell has finally decided to speak in a bid to save himself from the death penalty.  
In his first public comments since his arrest over two years ago, he told the court, which was packed with relatives of the victims: "I'm sorry."
And then with possibly the understatement of the year: "I know that might not sound like a lot."
The prosecution wasn't allowed to cross-examine Sowell, which left the question unanswered as to why he killed the victims and attacked three other women who survived and testified against him.
But guided by his defense attorney John Parker, he answered questions about his troubled childhood, WOIO reports.
He told the court his mother abused him as a child, beating him with an extension cord, adding that he had ended up joining the Marines because he heard they were tougher than the Army, and he had something to prove to his mother.
Sowell also described mood swings and hearing a voice, one he calls Arnie.
He completed his statement with his apology. 

SERIAL KILLER ANTHONY SOWELL GUILTY OF 11 MURDERS

DEATH

CREEPY Anthony Sowell is the serial killer we all knew he was, a jury ruled yesterday.
The twisted former marine lured 11 women to his grotty apartment in his drug ridden Cleveland neighborhood with the promise of booze or crack cocaine.
Then he stuck, brutally beating them or throttling them to death, in a vicious crack cocaine fueled rage.
Calling no witnesses, he barely offered any explanation for his brutality, other than the nightmares brought on by the deadly drug -all of which involved him hurting women.
When he woke up they were gone.
He will now face the death penalty for the slayings after being convicted of multiple counts of aggravated murder and a number of other offenses.  
Interviewed by cops he told them: "Reminded me of my girl, that’s the best I can tell you. It was like everything’s cool, she was spending the night or something."
But when he woke up he thought: "'Damn, where’d you go?’”
He also told detectives Sowell when if the women told him they had children at home while they were smoking crack.
He said: “One thing that always made me mad was they had kids. That’s a big thing in my head.”
Prosecutors say Sowell began running out of room in his backyard after he buried the bodies of four women there.
That’s when he began leaving them to rot on the third floor of his home.
"I'm glad justice has been done," said Audrey Webb, sister of victim Janice Webb told the Cleveland Plain Dealer.
"I'm glad it's over and he is getting what he deserves."

ACCUSED SERIAL KILLER ANTHONY SOWELL'S D RESTS

IF HE'S convicted, Anthony 'Creepy Tony' Sowell may go down as the forgotten serial killer. Sowell is on trial for his life in Cleveland and is accused of raping, murdering and dismembering 11mostly crack addicted prostitutes during a two year reign of terror in 2007-2009. So far, it's not looking too good for Creepy Tony and yesterday, the defence rested. They called no witnesses. Presented no evidence. He is S.O.L. The prosecution wrapped up their case Monday. He has pleaded not guilty by reason of insanity. Creepy Tony--a former Marine--came to the attention of cops when women who lived in his rundown area complained about him. Neighbors apparently missed the stench of rotting flesh coming from his two-story house. Prediction? Death for Creepy Tony, soon to be the forgotten serial killer. MORE FROM CNN

RICHARD MORRIS, WIFE GAVE TEEN SEX SLAVE HIV: COPS

THEY SEARCHED for nearly a year. She was a 15-year-old runaway. Her Cleveland, Ohio family hadn't given up hope but it was fading. Then, earlier this month the teen escaped from a public housing apartment in Cleveland and told a horrifying tale.
A neighbor said: "She ran out of the house, frantic, bleeding everywhere, she had just regained
consciousness, saying she was kidnapped."  The girl met Richard 'Dick' Morris on an Internet chat line in 2009. Eventually the two met and over many months he would pick her up from her home to have sex. 

The terrorized teen told cops she had moved into an apartment with Morris, 28, and his wife Tranace. After a while, she was held against her will. The teen admitted engaging in consensual sex with the gruesome twosome but now officials say he contracted HIV from Ricahrd.
Cleveland cops and the FBI had visited the apartment looking for the girl but the degenerate duo always managed to hide her.

Prosecutor Bill Mason said: "They had her hiding under like a pull-away couch in which she was hidden from view of the police when the bed was back in, she was in just a little compartment there."
They even went so far as to install surveillance cameras. The kinky couple are now targets of a 14-count indictment--including kidnapping and felonious assault.
Mason added that the girl had even become pregnant. He said: "She ended up pregnant. They ended up taking her to Detroit, with false identification, and having an abortion so she aborted the child as a result of this." The girl is now undergoing counseling and medical treatment.

SERIAL KILLER ANTHONY SOWELL FACES JUSTICE TODAY

TODAY IS THE DAY. Anthony 'Creepy Tony' Sowell goes on trial for his life in a Cleveland courtroom. Remember Creepy Tony? He is accused of raping, murdering and then dismembering 11 Cleveland women in a bloody two-year stretch between 2007 and 2009. He has pleaded guilty by reason of insanity. Well, no shit.
The prosecution's goodies all lay in the killing ground that was Sowell's backyard. In October 2009, cops found the remains of five of 11 dead women. More women have also come forward alleging that Creepy Tony attacked them. Most of the victims were women who had fallen on hard times and drifted into prostitution. While much of the news regarding Sowell have focused on his sinister deeds, little has previously been known about the man. Born in Cleveland, he joined the Marines and saw the world. After his release
from prison after doing a 15-year joly for attempted rape, people who knew him said he "appeared to be a normal guy."

But then odd smells began coming from his rundown two-storey home in a rough area called Mount Pleasant. At fvirst, officials thought it was from a nearby sausage factory but, no, really it was rotting flesh from Creepy Tony's house
And there could be more: cold case cops in Cleveland are working their way through 75 unsolved slayings to see if there is any connection to Creepy Tony Sowell. Stay tuned here.
