A 12-year-old girl has been arrested after stabbing her 9-year-old brother to death in Tulsa, Oklahoma. The parents were sleeping upstairs in their house when their daughter went into their room and woke them up saying she had just stabbed her little brother.
The child was taken to the hospital, where he died during the night. The sister was arrested and held in a juvenile detention center.
It was unclear if the little girl, whose name has been withheld due to her age, has found a lawyer for the case, nor has the motive for the attack been revealed. Not only is it the second murder in Tulsa since the turn of the year, it’s also the second among siblings. On January 3, a 39-year-old man named Clifton Speed shot dead his older brother Byron after an argument.
