CLAYTON COUNTY, Ga. — The fugitive squad in Clayton County has arrested a second twin sister accused of beating a woman with a frying pan.

Kyra Faison and her twin sister, Tyra, are accused of kicking open a woman’s apartment door and beating her in the face with a frying pan Dec. 10. The twins then dragged the woman out of her home and took her keys and phone, according to the sheriff’s office.

The attack left the victim’s body bruised, her face and lips swollen.

Channel 2 Action News interviewed the twins and their mother five years ago when they said they were victims of a vicious attack involving 20 other girls. The twins were 13 at the time.

The brawl on May 20, 2014, came a few months after the girls were first enrolled at Clayton Middle School.

Charnetta Davis said she and her daughters were followed home and attacked by a gang of middle school girls known as Y.L.O.M., Young Ladies Out Mobbing. They were punched, kicked and stomped on, Davis told the news station.

At the time, Davis blamed a lack of involvement by school officials. She said her girls were being bullied.

“I’ve never in my life experienced anything like this before,” she said in 2014. “I feel like I’ve done everything that I could to help my daughters.”
