'Tied up and tortured for 14 hours': 3 men arrested in disturbing Colorado case

Three men have been arrested on suspicion of attempted murder in Colorado's Littleton after allegedly torturing their fellow housemate over the course of a 14-hour period. Law enforcement received a report of the situation on the morning of September 16.

According to the Jefferson County Sheriff's Office, the three suspects in the case allegedly tied up a 45-year-old male victim before beating, burning, and whipping him over the course of hours. The man is said to have sustained serious bodily injuries after one suspect stepped on his neck, applying enough pressure that it caused him to lose consciousness.

The victim was reportedly only able to escape the house, located in the 4700 block of South Oak Court, after another person at the home said to not be involved in the torture got him out and transported him to a hospital.

Hospital staff were the first to notify law enforcement about the situation, after the victim claimed to have been tied up and tortured.

Suspects in the case include a 49-year-old male owner of the home, along with 48-year-old male and a 41-year-old male who were both associated with the address. Charges faced by all suspects include Attempted 1st Degree Murder, 2nd Degree Kidnapping, and 1st and 2nd Degrees Assault.

The search for a fourth suspect is underway with an investigation into what happened ongoing.
