A 12-year-old girl has been is facing a charge of first-degree murd3r and tampering with evidence after she allegedly k!lled her 8-year-old cousin over an iPhone.
There is chilling video footage of the incident which happened on Monday, July 15, 2024, in Tennessee, USA.
The identity of the girl is being withheld because of her age.
The video, obtained from the home’s surveillance system, shows the 12-year-old s¥ffoc@ting her 8-year-old cousin, named Demeria Hollingsworth, in a bunk bed that they were sharing at their grandmother’s home in Humboldt, Tennessee.
Gibson District Attorney Frederick Agee in a statement said, “After the child di£d, the juvenile cleaned up the victim and repositioned her body.”
A relative told WREG-TV in Memphis that the girls had been arguing over an iPhone after coming from out of town to stay with their grandmother for the summer. Agee said the defendant would be tried as an adult due to the extreme nature of the case.
