Michelle Knight told cops Ariel Castro threatened to kill her if Amanada Berry's baby died
May 08, 2013

Michelle Knight, one of three women Ariel Castro is accused of holding captive for almost a decade in his Cleveland house, has told investigators Castro forced her to deliver a baby born to one of the other women, and he warned her if the baby were to die, he would kill her.

New details on the women's harrowing ordeal were confirmed in a police report obtained Wednesday by CBS News, which corroborated information received earlier from a law enforcement source.

Knight told police, according to the report, that Castro impregnated her "at least 5 times," but that each time he would starve her and then punch her in the stomach to induce a miscarriage.

Six years ago, however, when Knight's fellow captive Amanda Berry had her daughter in the home, Knight was forced to help with the delivery. Knight told police that after delivery the infant girl "stopped breathing at one point," so she gave the newborn mouth-to-mouth to keep her alive.

Berry was able to escape, according to the police report and the law enforcement source, because Castro forgot to lock the main front door in his haste to get something to eat. Instead, he locked only a screen door. He was arrested at a nearby McDonald's.

1. This asshole is a monster.No words can describe how

badly I would love to be the judge in his case. I can dream right?

[Tunkamerica]

2. I wonder if Mickey D's is tweeting Castro?

[zerosumgame0005]

25. not a big fan of McDonalds

but that is a really asshole thing to say

[XVI_Eyes]

3. Put them down.

All three. This type of evil can't be fixed.

**The brothers, not the women, obviously.

[caseymoz]

11. They've determined the brothers weren't involved.

They were released and not charged.

Good thing this is neither genetic nor contagious.

[Javaman]

15. Do you have a link? I have only been following this from the fringe. I thought they were all living

in the same house.

[baldguy]

12. You do know that only Ariel Castro has been charged, right?

None of the women said anything that indicated Castro's brothers, Pedro, 54, and Onil, 50, were involved, Tomba said. "Ariel kept everyone at a distance," he said.

[XVI_Eyes]

18. Was not aware of that.

Let me rephrase: Put down whatever sociopath was knowingly involved in this.

[Lunabelle]

4. Monsters like this are why I am not opposed to the death penalty.

Flame me if you wish, but my opinion will never change.

[WhoWoodaKnew]

5. I agree with you.

[Hissyspit]

6. Well, there are about thirty reasons to be opposed.

[Frank Cannon]

7. Death is too good for that evil shitbag.

Throw him in solitary confinement in a supermax facility, with absolutely NOTHING to do except to think about what he's done, for the rest of his miserable life.

[lunatica]

8. You have a right to your opinion

but I happen to think that killing these monsters is pre-meditated State sanctioned murder. Which makes the State a murderer who murders people who murder. How does that make it OK?

[Demeter]

9. I suppose to satisfy the purists

Maybe the choice of an immediate death sentence or life in solitary should be made by the convicted....

Then no one can accuse the State of murder.

[treestar]

10. He didn't kill anyone

So he is not going to get the death penalty.

[localroger]

13. Actually we don't know that yet

There was a fourth woman who disappeared. I heard they are poking around the back yard to see if there's a body.

[baldguy]

14. There was at least one other woman there, and he caused 5 miscarraiges through torture.

[madokie]

17. Death would be too easy for him.

he needs to live a long time doing hard labor every single day, day in day out

[Le Taz Hot]

19. He was responsible for the miscarriages so, yes,

he did kill someone. Apparently several someones. He starved her and beat her to make her miscarry. That's premeditated murder.

[XVI_Eyes]

20. If you are caught red handed

and are an obvious sociopath, that's not fixable.

The purpose of prison isn't punishment, but rehabilitation. If someone displays a level of sociopathy that cannot be rehabilitated, put them down. It sort of seems merciful. They have broken brains.

I don't agree with capitol punishment for most things, like crimes of passion or where there are no direct witnesses, but this seems like a faulty human.

[2ndAmForComputers]

23. Never set foot in those awful, awful states that don't have the DP.

They're not Real America™, you know.

[madokie]

16. What a sick mo'fo

The more I read the more I'm astounded that someone could be so cruel.

[SunSeeker]

21. I wouldn't be surprised if Ariel Castro molested the 6 year old too. nt

[texanwitch]

24. I think this is why the mother of the little girl took this chance.

She didn't want this happening to the little girl.

Castro seemed to like them young.

[GetTheRightVote]

22. This man was so evil...

Those poor women for having to endure him.

[HockeyMom]

26. Don't understand this at all

Knight got pregnant 5 times and was starved and beaten to cause a misscarige. Yet, Amanda Berry's child he wanted to LIVE, and wanted Knight to save it? Why one woman and not the other?
