abc13.com: Brutal beating of deaf woman in Alvin
Mary Diaz was praying last night when she heard a scream from across the street. It was her 41-year-old sister Lucia LaFuente.
"She is a deaf mute," Diaz said. "She does not speak, she does not hear."
Diaz says her sister was on her front porch when two or three men beat her.
"She got hit several times on the head with a bat, they say right now you cannot tell what she looks like," Diaz told us. "That the side of her face and her eye are like a square."
Police tell us LaFuente was on the porch with another woman when men, dressed in black and wearing black bandanas across their faces, attacked.
"It doesn't make much sense does it," asked Alvin Police Chief Mike Merkel. "I think the hardest part about this is trying to find a motive or a reason that this happened."
LaFuente suffered injuries that at first seemed life threatening, but late today her ex-husband told us the hospital may release her late tonight.
LaFuente was the only one injured of the five people at home during the attack.
The 15 and 17 year old teen suspects have been charged with aggravated assault with a deadly weapon which is a first degree felony.
