Marcus Arceneaux carries his wounded niece, Bethany Arceneaux, to a vehicle  after she was rescued from a vacant house in Duson, La.

A Louisiana family decided to take justice into their own hands on Friday — and it was all captured on camera.

Marcus Arceneaux cradled his frightened niece, Bethany Arceneaux, in his  arms as he tenderly placed her in a car. Blood ran down Bethany’s face and she  held a cloth to her neck to stem the flow. But she was home. She was safe.

And her family had reportedly killed her torturer. Bethany’s two-day ordeal began on Wednesday evening when her ex-boyfriend, Scott Thomas, took her  hostage. The 29-year-old from Duson was the mother of his child and allegedly a  victim of years of domestic abuse at his hands.
