By ASSOCIATED PRESS 11:19 PM EDT

(SPRINGFIELD, Mass.) — Three dead bodies have been found at the home of a man charged with kidnapping, sexually assaulting and torturing a woman, a prosecutor said on Thursday.

Two bodies were found “in and around” the Springfield home after police responded to the house on Wednesday night, Hampden District Attorney Anthony Gulluni said. Late Thursday, Gulluni confirmed a third body had been found on the property.

Stewart Weldon, who was arrested Sunday after a car chase that ended when he crashed into a police cruiser and wrestled with officers, “does, we believe, live at this address,” Gulluni said.

A woman in Weldon’s car said he held her captive for a month, sexually assaulted her and beat her with a hammer and other objects, police said.

What do you think the likelihood of that monster calling the women in his captivity, whom he tortured, then murdered, as referring to those poor victims, as prick’s, or do you suoppose he called them c*#t’s?

And for you misogynist’s out there, I will proudly take a two’fer tonight.

Officers then spoke to the woman in the vehicle's passenger's seat, who relayed a harrowing account of sexual assault, captivity and abuse.

The woman told officers she had been held prisoner for a month at 1333 Page Boulevard, Weldon's home, as he allegedly beat, raped and threatened to kill her. The victim told police Weldon would beat her with a hammer and not let her seek medical attention.

"Thank you guys for saving my life, I didn't think I was ever going to get away," the victim told officers, according to a police report.

Police noted signs of abuse on her body, including scabbed-over wounds and bruises. And when the woman was seen by doctors at Baystate Medical Center, the scope of the violence became clear, police said. She was treated for a possible fractured jaw, stab wounds to her abdomen, marks from being hit with a blunt object, bruises, scrapes and a festering leg infection, a police report said.


There's a decent sized lawn to the side of the house, which is in a suburban looking area, (https://goo.gl/maps/PjbtSq4KV3n) although it sounds like the deceased were found in the house itself. The house is in the man's mother's name. I wonder if she's one of the deceased.
