Six bodies that were found in the home of a convicted rapist were women, officials said.

Police found two of the bodies when they went to the home of Anthony Sowell to arrest him on a rape charge. Mr Sowell, 50, of Cleveland, spent 15 years in prison for a rape in 1989.

A spokesman for the Cuyahoga County coroner said that five of the victims had been strangled. The other body was too decomposed to determine a cause of death.

Police have not been able to identify the bodies.
