DEATH FOR SERIAL KILLER CREEPY ANTHONY SOWELL

"CREEPY"

SERIAL killer creepy Anthony Sowell should be sentenced to death for the vicious rapes and murders of 11 women, a jury has decided.
The twisted former marine lured his victims to his Cleveland OH, apartment promising booze and crack cocaine, but after smoking the drug himself, he turned, violently raping and beating them before strangling them to death. 
Then he buried them in his garden, but he soon ran out of room, so instead of disposing of them elsewhere, he just kept the body parts in his condo, wrapped in plastic sheets or dumped in garbage bags.
The 52-year-old didn't testify during his trial and barely offered any explanation when quizzed by cops, other than he told them he got angry if his victims told him they had children.
He said: “One thing that always made me mad was they had kids. That’s a big thing in my head.” 
Jurors deliberated a total of seven hours before reaching a decision, although the final sentence will be up to Judge Dick Ambrose, who can reduce a death penalty sentence to life without chance of parole.
That will be done at a later date. 
Sowell was convicted of 82 counts, including aggravated murder, rape, attempted murder and kidnapping, for the 11 murders and attacks on three women who survived.

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.

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."

CREEPY ANTHONY SOWELL: 'I GOT RID OF THEM'

CREEPY TONY

CREEPY Anthony Sowell's admitted to butchering 11 women in two years, telling his girlfriend "I got rid of them," a court heard yesterday. Lori Frazier, who is the niece of Cleveland's mayor Frank Jackson, claimed she didn't believe the accused killer, dubbed 'creepy Tony' by neighborhood kids, despite the foul stench coming from his apartment and often seeing him covered in blood.
The former marine who allegedly lured his victims to his apartment with the promise of drugs before killing them.
Frazier, 31, who admitted to using drugs with the so called psychopath, added that once saw Sowell digging in his backyard, before testifying that she knew Crystal Dozier, one of the women found dead in his home.

Another time, she saw she saw blood on his carpet.
After her testimony, she told the First Post: "He came out from the penitentiary on June 23. Me and him hooked up on July 7, and I have been with him ever since.
"I want to know why, why would he do this. He took care of me."
But she also admitted that Sowell started acting "real nasty" after he started smoking crack and used to hit her.
Mayor Jackson, who denied having met the alleged serial killer told WOIO: "My niece would probably fit the same profile of many victims, so she is fortunate, very fortunate."

JURORS VISIT ANTHONY SOWELL'S HOUSE OF HORROR

CREEPY TONY

CREEPY Anthony Sowell's house, where he is accused of killing 11 woman and hiding their remains was visited by jurors before opening statements in the potentially explosive case. The alleged serial killer is thought to have lured his victims many who had a history of drug abuse  with the promise of booze or narcotics into his Cleveland, OH home.
Then, prosecutor's assert that when they were wasted, he struck, strangling or beating them to death. 
So far 11 bodies have been identified at his duplex.  
The women disappeared one by one, starting in October 2007 and ending in September 2009. It was thought that showing the jurors the Cleveland, OH home where it's believed the killings took place, would help them gain some perspective for the upcoming testimony.
But Cuyahoga County Common Pleas Judge Dick Ambrose was keen to point out that what jurors see 
"is not evidence, since conditions may have changed since the time of the events in this case."
It took nearly three weeks to seat the jury from a pool of about 200 prospective jurors and now the trial is expected to start today.
Sowell, a former marine, faces the death penalty if convicted of  eighty-five counts of murder, rape and kidnapping.
He originally pled not guilty by reason of insanity but has since changed his plea to simply "not guilty."
