A mentally challenged man who was found chained and starving in a Philadelphia basement in October has revealed that he considered the people who kept him there to be like family.

Edwin Sanabria, one of the four victims rescued from the Tacony, Pennsylvania home where they were held by suspect Linda Ann Weston, told the Philadelphia Municipal Court in a hearing on Monday that he had been traveling with the alleged kidnapper since 2001, reported Reuters.com.

Living on a diet of franks and beans, soup or oatmeal, the 31-year-old described the horror of "the hole" where he had been locked to a furnace by Weston and her accomplices, daughter Jean McIntosh, boyfriend Gregory Thomas, and Eddie Wright, which included having to use a bucket as a toilet.

As RadarOnline.com previously reported, the sinister 51-year-old was arrested last month and charged with criminal conspiracy, aggravated assault, kidnapping, criminal trespass, unlawful restraint and false imprisonment after three men and a woman were found chained in a Tacony, Pennsylvania house.

The ringleader responsible for chaining four mentally-challenged adults in a Philadelphia basement had previously had her children returned to her by social services despite a history of abuse and a horrific murder conviction, RadarOnline.com has learned.

Linda Ann Weston was paroled from prison after serving four years for the 1981 killing of a 25-year-old man who she hit with a hammer, locked in a closet and then starved to death -- she then walked into family court and demanded they give her children back, and the request was unbelievably granted.

As RadarOnline.com previously reported, Weston, 51, Eddie Wright, 49, and Thomas Gregory, 47, were arrested on Saturday and are facing a string of charges including criminal conspiracy, aggravated assault, kidnapping, criminal trespass, unlawful restraint and false imprisonment after three men and a woman were found chained in a Tacony, Pennsylvania house.
