October 2nd 2024.
On a Saturday in Taylor, Michigan, a disturbing incident took place in a seemingly ordinary home. It was reported that a teenage girl had allegedly stabbed her 7-year-old sister to death while she was babysitting. The tragic event occurred after an argument between the two sisters about flushing the toilet.
According to the Wayne County prosecutor's office, the 13-year-old girl got into a fight around 11:15 am while their parents were away. The argument was sparked by a note found in the bathroom about flushing the toilet. It quickly escalated, and the older sister is said to have used a butcher's knife and a hunting knife to stab her younger sister in the head, neck, and abdomen. The teen then called 911, and her sister was rushed to the hospital, but unfortunately, she did not survive.
When the police arrived at the scene, they found the teenage girl to be surprisingly calm and showing no emotion. Detective Zachary Digiacomo shared with FOX2Detroit that she seemed unfazed by what had just happened. The parents of the girls informed the authorities that they had left them alone for two hours and that although the sisters had typical sibling arguments in the past, it had never been this severe.
On Tuesday, the prosecutor's office announced that the 13-year-old girl has been charged as a juvenile with first-degree premeditated murder. Prosecutor Kym Worthy stated that due to her young age, the state would have seven years to diagnose, treat, and rehabilitate her before her mandatory release at age 21. Neither the identities of the girls nor the motive for the attack have been released to the public.
During the preliminary hearing in juvenile court, the teen appeared before a judge who ordered her to be held. The prosecutor expressed her shock and disgust at the horrific nature of the crime, stating that there was no doubt that it was a tragic and disturbing event. She also mentioned the irony of a 13-year-old being responsible for the stabbing death of her 7-year-old sister.
The news of the incident left neighbors in shock and disbelief. Julie Pagoto, a resident of the neighborhood, shared her grief with CBS Detroit, saying that she had just spoken to the younger girl the night before and now she was gone. She described her as a sweet and friendly little girl who would often ride her bike and talk to neighbors.
It is a heartbreaking and tragic event that has left a community in mourning. As the investigation continues, the family and friends of the victim will be remembered, and the accused will be held accountable for her actions.
