CNN Exclusive: Castro brothers were 'fooled'

(CNN) - Ariel Castro's brothers no longer refer to him as kin. Instead, they call him "a monster" who should rot in jail after being accused of kidnapping and holding three young women hostage in his home for a decade.

"I had nothing to do with this, and I don't know how my brother got away with it for so many years," Pedro Castro, 54, said when he and brother Onil Castro, 50, sat down for an exclusive interview with CNN's Martin Savidge this weekend.

When the story first broke, the world saw all three brothers as suspects after Cleveland police arrested them last Monday and released their mugshots. It was not until Thursday that Pedro and Onil Castro were freed and investigators said the brothers had no involvement in the kidnappings.

Ariel Castro, a 52-year-old former school bus driver, remains in a Cleveland jail on $8 million bond. He's charged with four counts of kidnapping and three counts of rape.

1. These guys got hosed.

The brothers were held in separate cells at the jail. It would be more than 36 hours before Pedro and Onil learned the real reason they had been taken into custody.

After helping a correctional officer interpret for another Spanish-speaking inmate, Pedro asked for more details about his own case. The officer wrote the word kidnapping on a piece of paper.

"I didn't have my reading glasses, I looked and I said, 'Oh, open containers.' She said 'No, read it again.' And I said 'Oh! Kidnapping! What's this? Kidnapping?'" he said. "I'm thinking kidnapping. Who did I kidnap?"

Now the death threats and rocks through the window.

2. I didn't recognize them with their new haircuts and suits

Anything that is different from their mugs is probably a good strategy.
