Hallan muerto a Ariel Castro, el secuestrador de Cleveland, en su celda

Hallan muerto al secuestrador de Cleveland en su celda
|

En lo que parece ser un intento de suicidio, Ariel Castro, quien estaba condenado por el secuestro de tres mujeres durante una década, fue encontrado sin vida en su celda. Las autoridades explicaron que se ahorcó, informó CNN.

La vocera del penal de alta seguridad, JoEllen Smith , informó que encontraron el cuerpo sin vida de Castro en la noche de este martes y aunque se le trató de reanimar a través de procedimientos cardiopulmonares, fue imposible salvar al convicto.

Michelle Knight, Gina DeJesus y Amanda Berry no han emitido declaraciones hasta el momento.

Ariel Castro había sido sentenciado el 1 de agosto a más de mil años de prisión por los 937 que enfrentaba.

Ariel Castro, de 53 años, había pedido perdón a sus víctimas en un estado incoherente y desafiante antes de ser sentenciado. Atribuyó sus acciones a su adicción al sexo y otros factores, pero sostuvo que la mayor parte de las relaciones sexuales fueron consensuadas y que las mujeres nunca fueron torturadas.


"Estas personas están tratando de pintarme como un monstruo", dijo. "No soy un monstruo. Estoy enfermo".
