11 bodies discovered from sex offender’s house

A sex offender has been charged for killing 11 women and hiding their corpses in his house.

The American man has been convicted of aggravated murder and could face death penalty.

Anthony Sowell, 51, was found guilty for the killing of  Tonia Carmichael, who disappeared in November 2008 and was strangled with an electrical charger for a mobile phone or camera, reports the news.

Carmichael’s mother and sister hugged each other and cried in despair after the jury pronounced him guilty for the murder.  He was immediately handcuffed by a court deputy.

The 11 women began disappearing in 2007.  Prosecutors say Sowell lured vulnerable women to his home with the promise of alcohol or drugs.

The police investigated and found the first two bodies and a freshly dug grave in late 2009.

The women discovered from Sowell’s home had been missing for months and weeks and a few of them also had criminal records.
