Warning: 'He Was Out To Kill Me' | Elderly Woman Recounts Brutal Beating In New Haven, KY

[Sugar Cookie]

According to court documents, deputies with the Nelson County Sheriff's Office responded to a home in New Haven, Kentucky, on May 22 for a reported assault.

Once on scene, deputies found 73-year-old Catherine Donahue who had been severely beaten. She had severe swelling to her face and eye socket, causing her eye to swell shut. She was also bleeding from her face and was in and out of consciousness. She was transported to a local hospital for treatment.

”He was out to kill me," Donahue said. "He was, I don't know why.”

Donahue said she suffered the beating at the hands of 19-year-old Ayden Williams.

"I guess my granddaughter probably let him in," Donahue. "But we didn't know he was here.”

Donahue suspects Williams came to the home on Eddie Miller Road to visit her granddaughter and hid in another room.

”I said 'what in the hell are you doing here…get up and get out of my son’s bedroom,'" Donahue said.

Donahue said she grabbed Williams and that led to the violent confrontation.

”When he hit the ground, I hit the ground, he hit me and knocked me down," Donahue said.

Donahue said she screamed for help, but Williams kept hitting and kicking her in the face, chest and back.

”My granddaughter heard me hollering, and they came in here and got the ball bat and an old cane I keep behind the door, and they was beating him off," Donahue said.

Meanwhile, Donahue has a lot of injuries and spent several days in the hospital.

After police left, Williams returned to the house for his phone and smartwatch. Residents called police, and Williams was arrested after a foot pursuit.

Depending on the granddaughter's age she would be out on her ass.

Holy Canoli I did an audible GASP when I saw this poor woman's picture. I LOVE old people-they are a connection to our past-and our future as none would be here w/out previous generations. Elderly are to be cared for and respected. He did this to an elderly woman then he will do the same to his partner, a child, an animal, and next time could end in death. Throw his ass UNDER the prison

Is that a highly dirty neck, or just the lighting?

He is light - might be marks from when they hit with the ball bat and cane.

He looks like he has a cut on the side of his nose and a swollen eye.

I am both pissed and nauseated just looking at this cretin. For being hit w/ a baseball bat and a cane he looks nearly unscathed-he should look as bad if not worse than that poor lady. I just can;t get over the savagery he inflicted on an elderly lady. There is no "rehabilitation" IMO for someone who could completely lose their shit like that on an elderly person...
