A thirteen-year-old girl has been charged with murder after stabbing her mother to death, according to Pennsylvania police.
Lataya Powell allegedly stabbed her mother, Temeeka Tucker, 44, and younger brother, 11, at their home in 20 block of South Sherman Street in Wilkes-Barre on Friday.
She is being charged as an adult with homicide, two counts of aggravated assault, and tampering with evidence.
Local news footage from PA Home shows the moment Powell is led away in handcuffs by police and is asked by a reporter if she has ‘any emotion at all’ about what she did.
Powell, wearing a red tartan-patterned shirt and pants, responds ‘regret, guilt and self-disgust’ before being placed in the back of a police vehicle.
