Twins wanted in frying pan attack captured
CLAYTON COUNTY, Ga. - Identical twin sisters Kyra and Tyra Faison, who shared the second spot on the Clayton County sheriff's top 10 most wanted list, are now both behind bars.
The Faisons were wanted in connection with a violent burglary that happened on Dec. 10.
Investigators said the twins kicked open a door to an apartment and beat Liyah Elsoke in the face with a frying pan. They are accused of then dragging the young mother out of her home, stealing her car keys and phone, and hitting her. Ms. Elsoke told FOX 5's Aungelique Proctor she thought she was going to die.

"Kyra picked up a pan. She started beating me in the head with a pan. My whole face was just bloody," the 20-year-old recalled. Elsoke was rushed to Atlanta Medical Center in the Intensive Care Unit for bleeding and swelling of the brain.
The twins were both wanted for aggravated assault with a deadly weapon, aggravated battery, robbery, 1st-degree burglary with the intent to commit a felony, and criminal trespass with damage to property.
Tyra Faison was arrested in Morrow on Monday and authorities found her sister, Kyra, at a motel in College Park on Wednesday.
