THE brothers of the US man charged with kidnapping and raping three women, locking them in his home for a decade, said they had no idea what was happening, in an interview aired in part yesterday.
"If I knew that my brother was doing this, I would not be, not - in a minute, I would call the cops because that ain't right," Pedro Castro, 54, told CNN.
"If I knew, I would have reported it, brother or no brother," he added.
Pedro and his youngest brother, 50-year-old Onil, were arrested soon after their brother Ariel Castro on Monday, when the three women, and a daughter born to one of them while in captivity, were discovered at Ariel's home in Cleveland, Ohio.
But Pedro and Onil were later released, with police saying there was no evidence they participated in the crimes.
In the interview, both said they feared they would never fully be freed of the suspicion raised after police announced their arrest and made their mug shots public.
"It's going to haunt me down because people going to think, yeah, Pedro got something to do with this. And Pedro don't have nothing to do with this," Pedro said.
His brother, Onil, concurred, adding, "The people out there that know me, they know that Onil Castro is not that person and has nothing to do with that. Would never even think of something like that."
The two, and their 71-year-old mother, are in hiding, saying people have thrown rocks at their homes and sent them death threats over the Internet, CNN reported.
