    A 41-year-old man recently released from prison is accused of killing a Sandusky mom and her two young kids over the weekend.

Judge Eric O'Brien set a $1 million bond for each aggravated murder count for 41-year-old Curtis Clinton, making his total bond $3 million.

Clinton was arraigned via video in Sandusky Municipal Court this morning. Clinton faces three counts of aggravated murder and one count of rape. $25,000 bond was set on the rape charge from an incident last week.

Police say Clinton killed a Sandusky mother, Heather Jackson, and her two children over the weekend. They say Clinton and Jackson were  friends since the man was released from prison in February.

The victim's brother says the man accused of killing his sister, niece, and nephew should face the death penalty.

"I'd like to kill him myself," says Nick Fee. "If they give it to him, I'm more than happy to watch."

Police found Jackson between a mattress and bed springs in her home on John Street. Three-year-old Celina and 18-month-old Wayne were found inside a closet.

Police say Clinton and Jackson have been friends since Clinton was released from prison. He served sentences for felonious assault and involuntary manslaughter convictions in 1999 in Wood County.

The Wood County prosecutor says Clinton pleaded guilty in the strangulation death of 18-year-old Misty Keckler. He was just released in February.

"To the best of our knowledge, he was invited into the home. He was a friend. There were no signs of forced entry into the residence," says Sandusky Police Lieutenant John Orzech.
