Six arrested in Megan Williams case, may be charged with race hate crimes

Six people have been arrested in the Megan Williams case and may be charged under US race hate laws.

 

Williams was abducted and allegedly held for seven days in a house near Charleston, West Virginia. The young black woman was beaten, sexually assaulted and stabbed by six white people who used racial slurs while torturing her. Williams, 23, was also forced to eat rat and dog feces and drink out of the toilet.

 

Police were tipped off anonymously by a witness, and found Williams on Saturday. Police said Williams limped to the door of the house saying “Help me,” as one of the six suspects sat on the porch telling police no one else was there. Police are still looking for two suspects.

 

“Things that were done to this woman are just indescribable,” said Sergeant Sonya Porter.

 

Williams’ mother, Carmen Williams, revealed her daughter wakes in the middle of the night screaming “Mommy.” “What really bad it that we don’t know everything they did to her. She is crying all the time,” Carmen added.
