OMAHA, NE - A man killed two women and left their bodies in the basement of a house, then beat and raped the daughter of one of the victims in the same home, authorities and a relative of the victims said.

Fabian Hands, 46, was booked on two counts of homicide and two counts of use of a weapon to commit a felony.

Officers were called to the house in north Omaha Monday night. When they arrived, a 20-year-old woman came out of a bedroom and said she had been sexually assaulted.

Police found the bodies of the woman's 36-year-old mother and 48-year-old aunt in the basement during a search of the house, authorities said. Paramedics pronounced the women dead at the scene.

The woman who reported she had been sexually assaulted was taken to a hospital.

The cousin of the assault victim told Omaha television station KMTV that Hands was the 36-year-old woman's boyfriend. The cousin said the 20-year-old told police that she was beaten and raped after Hands killed her mother and aunt.

Commentary: Notice that he was not charged with forcible rape. as though "use of a weapon to commit a felony" is somehow worse than being raped.
