Amanda Berry, Michelle Knight and Gina DeJesus were not Ariel Castro's only victims.

The alleged kidnapper's ex-brother-in-law, Jose Figueroa, tells Breaking Celebrity News that Castro physically abused his wife Grimilda for years, so much so, he claims, it eventually killed her.

"I believe he murdered my sister," Figueroa tells Breaking Celebrity News, in an exclusive interview.

"He abused her for years. She had multiple instances of serious head trauma and it created a brain tumor in her head." She passed away on April 25, 2012.
