KANSAS CITY, Mo. (AP) — Less than three months after he stood as a groomsman in the wedding of two friends he had known since college in Texas, Micah Moore walked into a suburban Kansas City police department and unloaded a dark secret: He had taken the woman's life at the request of her new husband, a charismatic prayer group leader.
Police said Bethany Deaton's death initially appeared to be a suicide. Officers found a note and empty bottle of over-the-counter pain medication along with her body in a minivan parked by a lake on Oct. 30.
It wasn't until Moore confessed nearly two weeks later that police announced she had been killed. He is scheduled for a preliminary hearing on a first-degree murder charge Wednesday.
In the criminal complaint filed in support of the charge, police detailed a stunning series of allegations that Moore made as part of his confession.
Moore, 23, lived with Deaton and her husband, Tyler, in a communal home shared by male members of their prayer group. He told police that several members had sexually assaulted Bethany Deaton and that they were worried she would tell someone. Moore said that's when Tyler Deaton ordered him to kill Bethany Deaton, according to a criminal complaint.

Just wait. They’ll try to link him with some Christian group and say “See that! They’re just like Muslims”
A cult that lived in a “communal home”....
shocking
Well that explains that. But you watch, the MSM will try to equate them to/with radical Islam. Muslim honor killings and all that.
Anything like a commune.... stay away

Fair Shares for Everyone
ALWAYS do what your prayer group leader says, no matter how crazy it sounds.
This is so sad for this poor woman. I hope the confessor is lying and all those other horrible things didn’t really happen to her. If he’s telling the truth, what a bunch of sickos!
Oh no. they are much worse.
lol
Radical group they are too. Or the other IHOP?
The IHOP group or the Muslims?
Say what?
it’s either a horrific crime, or it’s a crazy guy making up a story. A confession isn’t always accurate.
What did the autopsy say? Is there any “hard evidence” at the scene of the crime? What about the therapist? (if she was killed or committed suicide, it’s a potential lawsuit against the therapist). Was she pregnant? Was there sperm or other evidence to connect her with others?
Police said Bethany Deaton's death initially appeared to be a suicide. Officers found a note and empty bottle of over-the-counter pain medication along with her body in a minivan parked by a lake on Oct. 30.
over the counter pain medicines are not easily fatal. Tylenol can kill you, but usually after a few days when your liver fails. Aspirin and NSAIDS (e.g. advil) can kill you but usually if you overdose you throw up blood. Painkillers with benadryl (i.e. tylenol pm) could kill you but usually it makes you hallucinate when you overdose, and again there would be signs of anti histamine (in this case anticholinergic) overdose.
so why did the cops assume it was a suicide?
if she took narcotics, again there are both positive toxicology and evidence of death from anoxia.
No need to link him. The leader was running what purported to be a “Christian” prayer group.
I think there’s an important distinction here. If Muslims anywhere in the world do something similar, a lot of freepers make snide comments about the ROP.
Well, this appears to be a murder committed by (people who claim to be) Christians. So should we make the same remarks about Christianity?
Here’s the distinction. Some murders committed by Muslims are (they claim, with a great deal of evidence that it is the case) justified and required by their religion. The Koran and other Muslim scriptures specifically call for the killings.
You just can’t say that about the Bible or other Christian scriptures. Christians comment crimes all the time, but it’s not because they’re carrying out Christ’s instructions, in fact they are violating them when they do so.
Some of the crimes Muslims commit really are required by their faith.
in oh so many ways
From the link:
The Deatons’ prayer group had at least two houses, with women living in one and men in another. Bethany Deaton, 27, moved into the men’s house with Tyler Deaton after they married in August.
According to the criminal complaint, Moore told police that men in the house began drugging Bethany Deaton and sexually assaulting her soon after she moved in. He said she was seeing a therapist and group members became concerned she would tell the therapist about the assaults.
Moore and other men who lived in the house told police that several group members also were having sexual relations with Tyler Deaton, unbeknownst to his wife.
She was really pretty. Pic at this link: http://www.christianpost.com/news/bethany-deaton-death-prayer-group-leader-told-me-to-says-micah-moore-85782/
