A 14-year-old Pennsylvania girl has been charged with killing her 19-year-old wheelchair-bound sister in their family home, allegedly stabbing her older sibling as their parents slept, and calling 911 herself to confess the crime.
What are the details?
The Lancaster County District Attorney’s Office said in a press release that 14-year-old Claire Miller has been charged with homicide, is being held in prison without eligibility for bail, and will be tried as an adult in the killing of her older sister, Helen Miller. They noted that “homicide is not considered a delinquent act in Pennsylvania.”
WHTM-TV reported that according to court documents, Claire called 911 at around 1:00 a.m. on Monday in hysterics, telling authorities “she killed her sister.” According to The Daily Mail, when officers arrived they found Claire outside the residence “covered in blood and trying to wash her hands in the snow.” She reportedly said repeatedly, “I stabbed my sister.”
