The grisly story coming out of Cleveland continues to get worse. WKYC-TV is reporting that two more bodies were found on the property where convicted rapist Anthony Sowell lived until recently.

The new bodies bring the total to eight found in and behind the house. Sowell was arrested last week on rape charges related to an alleged September incident. Police who visited his house to arrest him didn't find Sowell but discovered the bodies. He was arrested without incident as he walked along a Cleveland street.

An excerpt from the WKYC.com story:

CLEVELAND -- An eighth body has been removed from the site of an Imperial Avenue home Tuesday, according to a WKYC crew on the scene.
It was the second set of remains removed from the property on Tuesday.
The removal of the bodies came shortly after two coroner's office vans arrived on the scene. The vans were sent out after a backhoe was brought in Tuesday morning to excavate the yard.
The bodies are being taken to the office the Cuyahoga County Coroner.
According to the WKYC crew, lights and heavy equipment have also been brought to the home and a tent is being erected around the yard suggesting detectives will be on the scene well into the night. Police have also dispatched a mobile command center to the site.
