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.

ERIC GRUMPELT LIVED WITH DEAD GIRLFRIEND: COPS

CRAZY ERIK
A CRAZY creep beat his girlfriend to death and then lived with her corpse for more than two months, cops say.
Erick Charles Grumpelt reportedly told investigators that he was furious when Malinda Raya, 39, told him she had cheated with other men in his bed.
So he smashed her several times in the stomach, before leaving her for a while.
But when he returned she was unresponsive, so he panicked and dragged her body under the bed, where her body gradually decomposed, reports KPHO.
As the stench grew worse, he wrapped sheets around the body and placed a number of carpet fresheners.
Cops found the body after Grumpelt's father found his unresponsive son, after he'd attempted suicide and was taken to hospital near his Mesa, AZ home. 
After being released yesterday, he was transported to the Mesa Police department where he provided details about what occurred at his apartment.

CREEPY ANTHONY SOWELL KEPT HEADLESS BODY: VICTIM

CREEPY TONY
CREEPY Anthony Sowell kept the bloody decapitated corpse of one of his victims in his apartment, a court heard yesterday.
Vanessa Gay told the court that the accused serial killer dubbed "creepy Tony" had invited her round to his apartment to "celebrate his birthday" by drinking and smoking crack cocaine.
But almost immediately after she walked in she got a bad feeling.
She said: "If you've ever seen Silence of the Lambs the eeriness, it was that atmosphere, but it was too late to turn back. It was just dark and gloomy, you could feel the gloom." 
But almost as soon as he took a hit from the crack pipe, Sowell turned into a monster, forcing himself on her and raping her repeatedly throughout the night.
She explained: "He told me nobody would hear me, nobody would hear me scream, nobody would hear me scream."
At one point, Gay who confessed to using drugs with Sowell, but said she had been clean for some time, told the court that she was walking down the hall when she passed a room that had plastic hanging from the ceiling to the floor.
She said: "The plastic was pulled up. And I saw something on the floor. It looked like it was a body. And it had no head on it."
Struggling to speak she added that the body was: "propped up sitting on the floor and it was taped up.
"I kept thinking to myself, I couldn't have seen what I saw," she said. "This is not possible, this is not real."
The next morning Sowell said if she called the police he'd kill her, but she rang them anyway and was told she needed to go to the police station to file a report. She says she was too injured to go.
She eventually reported what happened to her in 2009 after the bodies were found in the house.
Gay says she dreaded testifying but had to for the victims who did not survive.
She told FOX8: "I'm their voice," she said.
"Life is beautiful. I never want to take it for granted again, because it's a blessing."
