49-year-old Elias Acevedo Sr. pleaded guilty on Monday to 297 counts, including aggravated murder, rape and kidnapping, and will serve a life imprisonment sentence for the killings of two women in the 1990s, CNN reported. The cases "were re-investigated after the discovery of three women held captive nearby for years by Ariel Castro,"
Ariel Castro, who had been sentenced to life in prison plus 1,000 years for kidnapping and raping three women and murder, committed suicide in his prison cell on Tuesday evening.
During Cleveland kidnapper's Ariel Castro's sentencing hearing on Thursday, Judge Michael Russo said that the defendant fits the very definition of a "violent sexual predator."
Anthony Castro, the son of the Cleveland man Ariel, who admitted to kidnapping, raping and enslaving three young women for about a decade said that his father should serve a life sentence. On NBC's "Today" show on Monday, Anthony Castro added that he will not visit his fathe while serving time in prison.
