Two Women Charged In Brutal Beating Of Bronx Teen Face Court For The First Time

Serenity Dunham, 19, and Tiffany Nurse, 27, have been charged with beating up and robbing a pregnant Bronx teen.

But despite being charged with such a vicious crime, the girls’ family came out in force to support them.

Court officers arrested D’angelo Davis and Lakea Varner for their “unruly behavior” in the court room.

This triggered more yelling from relatives in the room.

Some family members were escorted out while Davis and Varner were arrested.
