Hanson claims they were hanging out at Munoz home in southwest Oklahoma City with Masters, when two men arrived and went inside a bedroom with Munoz and closed the door.

Hanson then said the two men came out and started beating Masters and told her to tie Masters' hands behind his back with zip ties. Those court documents state she did, and then says she witnessed the two men and Munoz taking turns beating Masters. But she claimed she knew Masters was still alive, because she could hear him moaning.

That's when Hanson claims Munoz began using several different knives to stab Masters while he was inside the trash can.

Court papers show Brandy Hanson and Angel Munoz were upset at Masters after being arrested for driving a stolen vehicle that Masters reportedly let them borrow.

Munoz became paranoid about Masters and called her boyfriend, Jessie Dalton, who was in prison. He told Munoz he would send someone over to take care of it. That's when Lott and Goodwin arrived and beat Masters.

After they left, Masters was still alive. That's when Munoz and Hanson stabbed Masters to try to kill him.
