Ohio’s prison system is reviewing how Cleveland kidnapper Ariel Castro - perhaps the most notorious figure behind bars in the state – managed to hang himself with a bedsheet while in protective custody.

The American man convicted of holding three women captive in his house over a decade and raping them repeatedly has been jailed for life without parole plus 1,000 years.

A former school bus driver being sentenced for kidnapping three women and subjecting them to years of sexual and physical abuse left behind a letter that said “I’m a sexual predator,” an FBI agent testified.

Three women held prisoner in a run-down home for a decade kept diaries documenting the horrific physical and sexual abuse they suffered on a daily basis, it has emerged, as their captor faces sentence today.

A man accused of holding three women captive for a decade is facing 329 charges including kidnapping and rape.
