Linda Ann Weston, Thomas Gregory & homeless man Eddie Wright arrested for allegedly holding four malnourished mentally disabled adults chained to boiler in basement room in Philadelphia home.
ATROCITY:
Linda Ann Weston, 51;
Thomas Gregory, 47 and
Eddie Wright, 49, were arrested after four malnourished mentally disabled adults were found chained to a boiler in the basement room of a Philadelphia home. According to NBC Philadelphia, the room was too small for an adult to stand up straight and also reeked of waste from buckets they used to relieve themselves. Police reportedly stumbled across this atrocity while investigating a report of squatters in a building on the 4700 block of Longshore Avenue Saturday, NBC Philadelphia reported.
Weston, Gregory and Wright were charged with aggravated assault, kidnapping, conspiracy, false imprisonment, reckless endangerment and related charges, cops said.
Police are investigating the possibility that the suspects were trying to make money through access to the victims' Social Security or disability checks, Little said. It wasn't clear how they know the victims.
The 29-year-old woman and the men, who are 31, 35, and 41, have the mental capacity of 10-year-olds, police said. They were taken to a hospital for treatment and listed in stable condition. Little said the victims appeared to have no physical problems other than malnourishment. Source
This is such an atrocity. There isn't a long enough prison sentence for these three people. They should be given similar living accommodations for the rest of their lives.
