A shocking incident has shaken a family and community in Tennessee, USA, after a 12-year-old girl was arrested for the brutal murder of her 8-year-old sister. The motive behind the crime was a dispute over an iPhone.
According to media reports, the victim, identified as Demeria Hollingsworth, was found dead at her home. Her mother, Rayana Smith, was devastated by the loss and wrote an emotional post on GoFundMe, saying, "I just lost my baby girl. The pain I'm feeling is unimaginable. I never thought I'd lose my daughter like this."
The police investigation revealed that the suspect, the victim's cousin, had been staying with her grandmother during summer break. The two girls had a history of arguing over an iPhone, but no one expected the dispute to escalate into violence.
The suspect was arrested and charged with first-degree murder and tampering with evidence. The police obtained CCTV footage showing the suspect strangling her sister. After the crime, the suspect arranged the victim's body on the bed to make it appear as if she was sleeping.
The district attorney stated that despite the suspect's young age, she had committed a violent act. The prosecution believes that the suspect should be tried as an adult, and if found guilty, she could face life imprisonment.
This tragic incident has raised concerns about the increasing violence among children and the need for parents and authorities to address the issue. The family and community are still reeling from the shock of the crime, and the incident serves as a reminder of the devastating consequences of unresolved conflicts and disputes.
