Three men were arrested this past weekend in St. Louis City after after a woman was found bound by ropes and bleeding from the head. The incident took place at Mount of Olives Ministry on Minnesota Avenue in the city.<\/p>\n

The woman said she was held captive and was beaten by the men at the church. Inside the room police found<\/a> a bottle of water and a bucket that had been used as a toilet.<\/p>\n\n

According to reports when police arrived at the scene they found women described as \u201cangels\u201d held in a room inside the premises. When police lifted their veils the women would start screaming.<\/p>\n

Local KSDK reported on the south city cult.\n<\/p>\n

The Riverfront Times <\/a>reported:<\/p>\n

A bizarre kidnapping case that allegedly occurred this past weekend in south St. Louis got a lot stranger this afternoon at a bond hearing for one of the defendants.<\/p>\n

Over the weekend, police were called to Minnesota Avenue in the Patch neighborhood after a woman was found bound by ropes and bleeding from the head. She later told police she had been confined against her will in a room at the nearby Mount of Olives Ministry church. Three men were charged with felony kidnapping and assault.<\/p>\n

This afternoon, at a bond hearing for one of those men, 28-year-old Grace Kipendo, Assistant Circuit Attorney Chris Faerber described cult-like conditions at Mount of Olives Ministry. <\/p>\n

Faerebr said in court he\u2019d be reaching out to federal prosecutors regarding the case. <\/p>\n

He said that officers at the scene reported that members of the church referred to women as \u201cangels\u201d and there was a \u201cwhite room\u201d where there were women referred to as \u201cgood angels\u201d and wore white veils.<\/p>\n

\u201cOfficers tried to lift their veils to check on their well-being and the women started screaming,\u201d Faerber told Judge Heather Hays, in arguing that Kipendo should remain in the City Justice Center without bond.<\/p>\n

Faerber quoted one of the officers at the scene who said, \u201cIf I hadn\u2019t seen this with my own eyes, I wouldn\u2019t have believed it.\u201d<\/p>\n

According to the police probable cause statement, the victim said that she was kept locked in a room where she was beaten and given only water. After police arrived, the victim led officers to a different room, one that wasn\u2019t the \u201cwhite room,\u201d which had had its door knob broken off and, inside, a bucket being used as a makeshift toilet. <\/p>\n

Police were called because the victim was \u201ccrying out to passersby who were not members of the church,\u201d according to Faerber.<\/p>\n
