A Cleveland judge Wednesday ordered man suspected of killing at least 10 people held without bond on five counts of aggravated murder.

Cleveland Municipal Judge Ronald Adrine said the charges were the most serious he'd ever seen, The (Cleveland) Plain Dealer reported.

Sowell was arrested Saturday after five decomposing bodies were found in his home and another body was discovered outside. Since then, police have found four more bodies in the backyard of Sowell's home.

Assistant County Prosecutor Brian Murphy said, "(The) state believes (Sowell) is an incredibly dangerous threat to the public, not only in Cleveland, but beyond the city's limits."

Sowell faces the death penalty if convicted, Murphy said.
