BOSTON (AP) – A 34-year-old woman survived a beating by three neighbors by playing dead until they wrapped her body in tarp and stashed her under the apartment building’s porch, where she escaped, police said.

Chad Palmer, 20, and Brandon Parry, 22, were arrested Tuesday on charges of assault with intent to murder, armed robbery, assault and battery with a deadly weapon, and possession of a firearm.

A third suspect, Pheona Nicolette Palmer, 19, Chad Palmer’s sister, was arrested later Tuesday on the same charges when she returned to the apartment, where she lived.

All three were arraigned in the Dorchester division of Boston Municipal Court. Parry’s $5,000 bail for a pending firearm case was revoked, and Pheona Palmer was held without bail on a pending probation matter involving drug possession.

The victim, whom police declined to identify, told police that on Saturday she visited a Nightingale Street apartment shared by Pheona and Chad Palmer with cash after Pheona Palmer asked her for a loan.

After she arrived, the Palmers and Parry hit her in the head several times with a blunt object, and she dropped to the ground, police said.

“In fear for her life, the woman played dead,” police spokesman John Boyle said.

The suspects robbed her, then bound her with duct tape, wrapped her in tarp and tossed her under the porch, police said. After they left, the victim chewed through the tape and pulled the tarp off before crawling toward help. Other neighbors found her behind the apartment at about 7 p.m. on Saturday.

The woman later identified the three suspects from photo lineups police showed her while she was at Boston Medical Center.

All three defendants are due back in court on Dec. 23 for a probable cause hearing.
