Mundelein, IL — A 14-year-old girl is facing three counts of murder after authorities say she stabbed her 11-year-old sister nearly 40 times. Apparently, her ungrateful little sister didn’t appreciate everything she had done for her.
“She indicated she was mad from the night before,” said Asst. State’s Atty. Claudia Kasten during a detention hearing for the teen. “She went downstairs to get a knife. . .With each stab wound, she said she was not thankful for what she (the older girl) had done.”
Kasten, citing the autopsy, told the court the teen stabbed the girl 30 times across the neck, chest and arms and slashed her face three times. The girl also suffered bruises to her chest, and non-penetrating knife wounds “too numerous to count,” meaning she probably was jumping away from the knife, police say.
Police learned of the attack early Tuesday morning after receiving a 911 call from the teen. Her initial story was that she woke to the sound of her sister’s screams just before 8:00 a.m. She told police she entered the younger girl’s room and found a man straddling the girl, stabbing her. She said the man threatened her, then ran out of the home. This story led to a brief lockdown of three nearby schools. The teen called her mother, and mom told her to call police.
The teen’s story fell apart, however, after investigators informed her they found strands of hair in her sister’s hand that would lead them to the killer. It was then that she told police she had been angry with her little sister over the past week because she didn’t believe the girl appreciated her for cooking dinner six nights in a row in addition to doing other various chores, Kasten the prosecutor said. The siblings apparently got into a fight Monday night, and the younger girl had hit her, the teen told police.
She went on to say that she awoke after her mother had left house, retrieved the knife and started stabbing her sister. The younger girl kept struggling, and the teen kept stabbing. She then attempted to wash off the blood before calling her mother and police. She was waiting at the door when police arrived at 8:30.
Holy shit, folks. Just…. holy fucking shit.
