The pair, who told police they are married, went to the house to do heroin, according to the affidavit, and arrived the early morning of Nov. 10.<\/span><\/p>\n

One of the women<\/a> asked to borrow a green Mustang from [Melissa] Richards [above], who is charged as a co-defendant in the case, according to online court records. The women<\/a> said Richards became angry when the car wasn\u2019t returned soon enough. <\/span><\/p>\n

Richards told the woman<\/a> she would be \u201ckeeping\u201d her wife until the car was returned, the woman<\/a> told police. <\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cDon\u2019t make me take something else you love,\u201d Richards told the woman<\/a>, according to the affidavit. \u201cI\u2019m not playing with you.\u201d <\/span><\/p>\n

The other woman<\/a> told police she was beaten and left in a \u201cbig closet\u201d inside the home. At some point, she became aware of someone pulling her pants off. \u00a0Inside the closet, she says 32-year-old Kenneth A. Braswell raped her.<\/span><\/p>\n

The first woman<\/a> eventually returned to the home and was beaten alongside her wife, according to the affidavit. \u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

One of the women<\/a> said she watched as the other was beaten \u201cto the point that she ended up on the ground and I didn\u2019t know if she was alive anymore.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

Both say they spent several days in the basement. They were only given food and water once but couldn\u2019t eat due to the extent of their injuries. <\/span><\/p>\n

One of the women<\/a> overheard Nieves saying Richards had been instructed to give them a \u201chot shot\u201d \u2014 a dose of heroin and chlorine \u2014 but did not, according to court documents. The women<\/a> told police that Bell and Nieves put them in the green Mustang on Nov. 14 and said they were going to a south-side motel to sell heroin to someone else before taking them home.<\/span><\/p>\n

One of the women<\/a> told police she overheard Nieves talking about taking them to Bargersville to kill them and he knew someone there who would help them bury the bodies, according to the affidavit. <\/span><\/p>\n

The women<\/a> say that after the car blew a tire and pulled into a convenience store, they asked a clerk for help and locked themselves inside a restroom until police arrived.<\/span><\/p>\n

During a search on the home on North Grant Avenue, police found a bloody towel, bloody sweatpants and a \u201clarge blood puddle\u201d in the basement. In the Mustang they found two handguns, duct tape, a machete, a blanket and two cellphones. <\/span><\/p>\n

Braswell faces eight counts, including rape, kidnapping, criminal confinement and battery while Richards faces six counts, including criminal confinement and battery. Two other men<\/a>, Thomas J. Bell (26) and Jose Nieves (35), are scheduled to appear for a jury trial in January alongside Braswell.<\/span><\/p>\n
