A woman in Kentucky has been arrested following the discovery of dismembered body parts belonging to another woman behind her mother’s house earlier this week, according to local police.
Torilena Fields, 32, faces charges of obstructing governmental operations, tampering with physical evidence, and abuse of corpse, as per Bourbon County jail records.
Authorities report that several signs of occult activities have emerged during the initial investigation into the grim crime scene.
On Wednesday afternoon, maintenance workers showed up at a home on Brierly Ridge Road in Robertson County, Kentucky, to perform tasks for the property owner.
Workers, after getting no reply at the front door, proceeded to the back of the house, as stated in a police report referenced by Cincinnati’s ABC affiliate WCPO. Authorities reportedly discovered a collection of hair, a bloodstained mattress, and signs of dragging. They then tracked the distressed grass, leading to an even darker revelation.
A maintenance worker called 911 at approximately 12:26 p.m. after reportedly discovering human remains behind the house, believed to belong to the homeowner. Kansas State Police responded to the scene and discovered what the report describes as a “dismembered body.”
State troopers reportedly discovered human remains, a blood-stained mattress, and signs of blood on the back porch and at the threshold of the back door, as stated in the citation. Investigators also reported discovering a stick with blood on it near the back porch, along with another mattress that had blood on it.
Authorities noted the presence of “drag marks” in the grass, leading from the home to the location where the body was found.
The workers reported that Wednesday marked at least the second occasion they had been to the property owned by Trudy Fields this week.
The maintenance workers reported that they visited the Fields property the previous day, where they experienced the defendant “casting spells on them and being confrontational,” as stated in the citation.
A specialized team ultimately reached the home and tried to rescue Torilena Fields. Authorities reported that the younger woman reportedly declined, resulting in a prolonged standoff that finally came to an end around 11 p.m. following the deployment of tear gas and a police robot.
Officers noted in the report that when the suspect exited the residence, she “seemed to have blood on her face, hands, and clothing.”
The crime scene inside was discovered to be even more horrifying.
The victim’s body had its arms, legs and head removed with the torso and spine “severed in half and the organs removed,” according to the citation. Investigators also said they found body parts that “appeared to have been cooked” in a steel pot inside the oven.
“The pot was still warm to the touch,” the citation reads.
The individual is presently held at the Bourbon County Detention Center with no option for bond.
Authorities indicated that more charges may be brought forward as the investigation continues.
