“It sounded like somebody was dying. It sounded like, I don’t know, ungodly noise that we heard,” Jennifer told LEX 18 on Wednesday.’
Jennifer called 911 after hearing those screams for hours.
“We beat the door down. they would not answer the door,” Jennifer added. “Then we heard the woman begging and screaming for him to stop.”
The victim escaped after she was trapped inside the apartment for hours. She ran to a nearby motel, where she was sent to UK Hospital for her injuries.
“(The victim) was trying to leave (Patton) and he said he would make sure that no other man would want her and that’s why he carved his name in her,” Jennifer recalled.
Patton remains in the Lexington-Fayette County Detention Center.
