ARRESTED SPEEDER WITH DEAD BODY HAS HISTORY OF TORTURE - Murder Could Have Been Committed In Clay

(10/01/2005)
A man stopped for speeding by police on I-79 near Elkview this week, could be charged with the stabbing death of a woman found in his back seat.

The woman could have been murdered in Clay County.

State Police patrolling I-79 last Monday pulled over Raymond Andrew Richardson for speeding and discovered the body of Clorissa Fields, 25.

Richardson claimed he was rushing Fields to a hospital.

He was taken to the South Central Regional Jail after officers learned he had been out on bond for charges of domestic battery, and had violated his bond.

Fields' death is still under investigation in Clay County.

Three days after Richardson, a resident of South Charleston, was found with Fields' body, he was indicted by a Kanawha County grand jury on charges of attempted murder, malicious wounding and domestic battery, not related to the current stabbing victim.

Richardson was charged in 1999 with torturing a girlfriend named Angela Franks for 14 hours.

He threatened to kill her, beating her and pouring gasoline on her naked body and then burning her with cigarettes.

He was sentenced to 10 years in prison and released after serving five.

After being released, another girlfriend of Richardson's, Ashley Sheets, accused him of subjecting her to abuse.

Sheets later denied the incident happened as she reported.
