A teenage girl allegedly stabbed dead her 7-year-old sister she was babysitting after an argument about flushing the loo.
The 13-year-old girl got into a fight around 11.15am on Saturday after being left alone in their home in Taylor, Michigan, by their parents, according to the Wayne County prosecutor’s office.
A note was in the bathroom about flushing the toilet and sparked an argument between the sisters, police said.
The older girl is accused of using a butcher’s knife and a hunting knife to stab her sister in the head, neck and abdomen. The teen then called 911, police said.
Her sister was rushed to a nearby hospital, where she was pronounced dead.
Meanwhile, the teen ‘was very calm and just showed no emotion’, Detective Zachary Digiacomo told FOX2Detroit.
Their parents told cops that they left the girls alone for two hour and that they had ‘normal siblings arguments’ in the past but nothing more serious.
The teen girl has been charged as a juvenile with first-degree premediated murder, the prosecutor’s office said on Tuesday.
‘Given her young age, the state would have seven years to diagnose, treat, and rehabilitate her until her mandatory release at age 21,’ said prosecutor Kym Worthy.
Neither her or the victim’s identities have been released.
‘There is absolutely no doubt that the facts in this case are horrific,’ Worthy said.
‘It is beyond disturbing that the alleged person responsible for the stabbing death of her 7-year-old sister is 13 years old.’
Neighbors were shocked at the crime.
‘Just last night I was talking to her and now she’s gone,’ Julie Pagoto told CBS Detroit of the younger girl.
‘She used to walk up and down the street everyday riding her bike, walking up and down the street stopping and talking to neighbors. She was just the sweetest little girl.’
The teen appeared for a preliminary hearing in juvenile court on Tuesday and a judge ordered for her to be held.
