They had been left alone at home for a couple of hours: two sisters in the USA had a trivial argument which culminated in the death of the youngest at the hands of her 13-year-old sister
A shocking tragedy occurred in the state of Michigan, USA, last Saturday. For a trivial quarrel relating to the toilet flushing at home, a 13-year-old girl stabbed and killed her younger sister, aged 7, while they were alone in their home.
When the paramedics rushed to the house, located in the town of Taylorthey found the little girl lifeless on the ground in a pool of blood. The trip to hospital is useless: the little girl died shortly after from the serious injuries sustained following the attack.
Quarrel between sisters: the reconstruction of the terrible epilogue
According to what emerged from the statements released by the county prosecutor Waynein charge of the case, the argument between the two sisters broke out shortly after 11 am last Saturday. The dispute arose from a note left in the bathroom regarding him flush toilet in which reference would be made to the request to flush the toilet. It was precisely on the basis of this request that the argument arose, culminating in the most tragic of epilogues.
The attack took place in the bathroom of the house: the little sister was stabbed by the 13th several times, suffering wounds to the head, neck and abdomen.
Police officers reported that the teenager used two types of knives: a butcher’s knife and a hunting knife found in the house.
The words of the prosecutor
The 13-year-old girl who stabbed her 7-year-old sister to death is accused of first-degree premeditated murder, manslaughter and first-degree child abuse.
These are the statements released in this regard by the prosecutor:
“There is absolutely no doubt that the facts in this case are horrific. It is beyond disturbing that the person allegedly responsible for the stabbing death of her seven-year-old sister is thirteen years old.”
He then added:
“We considered designating the teenager as an adult, which is not the same as trying her as an adult. It gives the judge the ability to sentence the defendant as a juvenile, or as an adult, or to give a mixed juvenile sentence with the option to impose an adult sentence if the juvenile is not rehabilitated. Our other option was to keep her in the juvenile system.”
The parents of the two told police officers that they had left the girls alone at home for two hours to go and run errands. Even in the past they had had normal discussions as usually happens between brothers, but never anything that could make one think of a possible, tragic outcome.
