14-Year-Old Girl Stabs 11-Year-Old Half Sister to Death - Illinois

This sounds a whole lot like what went down when Leila Fowler was murdered in California last year by her 12-year-old brother (allegedly). Sad.

Snips:



Police found the 11-year-old girl unconscious and in need of medical attention in an upstairs bedroom of the dwelling Tuesday morning. She later died.

Because the older sister, who called police, initially told officers an intruder was to blame for the attack, authorities briefly placed three schools on lockdown.

Assistant State’s Attorney Claudia Kasten said that the 14-year old girl , who faces charges as a juvenile for first-degree murder, told police that her younger sister Dora was not appreciative of all the chores she did to keep the house running, the Chicago Tribune reports. She told police that Dora had hit her, and took for granted that she had cooked dinner six times the previous week.

The fight between the sisters, who neighbors said were close, erupted Tuesday morning, when the older girl allegedly took a kitchen knife and went into her sister’s room to stab her. Katsen said the girl told police she stabbed Dora for being ungrateful for all she had done.

After the murder, the teen allegedly showered and then called her mother to say that she had seen an intruder stabbing her sister. When police arrived, the 14-year-old’s hair was wet and there was blood on her arms. Police found Dora had been stabbed 40 times.

State Attorneys are deciding whether to charge the 14-year-old as an adult.

Yeah, now it's going to be difficult to say that the sister wasn't mentally impaired and didn't know better since she cleaned up. 40 times is a lot of stabbing.
