(KUTV) The victims of the so-called "polygamist ninjas" fear retaliation by the sister-wives, the family told 2News in their first interview since the bizarre and traumatic break-in.

Raven Blackwing, 22, and Tylynn Southwick, 19, allegedly jimmied the back door of the West Jordan home early in the morning last September.

Fiances Jeremy Beck and Elizabeth Griego were sleeping when their friend, who was staying over, heard creaking near the stairs leading to the bedrooms. He saw two masked, hooded women in dark clothing and woke up everyone.

Griego yelled for her children and hid them in one room. While the couple's friend fought off the first woman, Beck took on the other.

"She came at me with a stun gun, and I instinctively blocked it with my arm, and I hit her in the head, then proceeded to jump on top of her," Beck said. "I grabbed my sword on the mantle, unsheathed it and told her to sit down, that if she moved, she would lose body parts."

West Jordan police arrested Blackwing and Southwick at the house. The two were charged with aggravated burglary, retaliation against a witness/victim and aggravated assault.

Beck and Griego say they immediately recognized the pair, even with their disguises.

The women who were arrested are the sister-wives of Beck's half-brother, Kain Blackwing, Beck said and investigators have confirmed. One is legally married to him.

At the time of the break-in, Kain Blackwing was in Salt Lake County Jail awaiting trial for the alleged rape of Griego's then 14-year-old daughter.

Beck and Griego believe the women had come to their home to kill their daughter - the victim and witness in the case.

"They had knives; ...a small container of Formalin, which I guess is used to knock somebody out," Beck said...

As a Christian, we are counseled not to judge, nor to condemn, but to forgive.

Then perhaps you may want to consider absorbing your own counsel and stop judging me -- a perfect stranger to you.

I have had no PERSONAL damaging or seering issues with any Mormon...neighbor or family member or co-worker or otherwise...(you flunk in your mind-reading venture...which, btw, is against forum rules...but why would THAT bother you?)

I am a descendant of Mormon ancestors. I have nothing against ANY of them. I have Mormon relatives; I love them...they love me, tho for travel reasons we are not always able to often get together.

I simply believe what 1 Cor. 13:6 teaches...that "love rejoices in the truth." It's not ashamed of the truth. It doesn't duck the truth. In fact, it rejoices in it...

I also know that tough love isn't easy...but we're not talking here about what brands we buy at the local supermarket. If the Mormons have a different god, or a different Jesus, or a different Gospel, which I believe they do on each count...then we are talking about eternal consequences.

You may not care for their eternal welfare...you may not care about those whose web they entangle with their teachings of deception...that is your prerogative.

If you are simply intolerant of my posts...just come right out & say so.

Just 'fess it up...here let me suggest something like:

"I, ____ (fill in your name) am intolerant of C's posts about _____ (fill in the blank). Yes, I know that 'bigotry' is simply another word for 'intolerance'...but my intolerance is a special exception. Signed ______ (fill in your name)."
