Chicago Reaches Highest Murder Rate In The Nation As 2016 Comes To A Close
Sickening video posted live to Facebook showed two men and two women torturing a disabled man in a horrific hate-crime — with the assailants slashing at the victim's clothes and beating him while shouting "F--k white people!" and "F--k Trump!" Chicago police say they've arrested the four people seen in the video shot on Jan. 3. Further evidence on Facebook also shows that suspects Britanny Herring Covington and Jaenone Eblock were psychos in love!

Covington, 18, quickly became notorious as the most prominent face and voice on the perverted video, as the bound and gagged man is humiliated, tortured, and has his clothes cut off his body. The man also has his hair savagely cut until his scalp bleeds, and cigarette ashes are flicked into the wounds. Covington is seen continually laughing and smoking throughout the horrible incident.

The victim's parents even told cops that the four creeps tormented them by sending text messages about their son's ordeal, which included being forced to drink from a toilet. Jaenone Eblock's own Facebook account says that he's been "in a relationship" with Herring (seen in her mugshot) since January 14, 2016. Chicago cops learned of the attack after they responded to a call about a man found wandering the streets while wearing only shorts in the freezing January weather.

Detective Commander Kevin Duffin said that the victim was “an acquaintance” of at least one of his future tormentors, and added that police believe they stole the van that was used to pick up the young man “in the suburbs and drove him into Chicago.”

Police have said that all four suspects were teenagers. There have been reports that their victim was a fellow student. Herring makes a reference at one point in the video to her sister being present, noting that her sibling says, "It's not funny" — before Covington adds that she still finds torturing her victim to be "hilarious."

Covington was already out on bail after an October arrest for retail theft of merchandise worth less than $300. She had recently posted on Facebook about both attending a court date and beginning a new job alongside her sister. Detective Commander Dufflin said that kidnapping charges could be added to the arrests, while Police Superintendent Eddie Johnson has declared that it's too soon in the investigation to tell if the attack was racially motivated.
