According to US media reports, a 21-year-old woman from Orlando, Florida, has confessed to stabbing her 20-year-old sister in the heart three or four times. The sister had played the online shooter Valorant with the 21-year-old’s boyfriend and had communicated with him via the in-game chat. The 21-year-old shared a bedroom and bed with her sister; the attack occurred while the sister was sleeping.
This is the described sequence of events: The 21-year-old had a long-distance relationship with her boyfriend. However, he played the online shooter Valorant with her sister and actively communicated with her in the in-game chat of the game.
The 21-year-old and other witnesses stated: She felt uncomfortable with her boyfriend’s relationship with her sister and found the relationship inappropriate.
After the 21-year-old learned that her boyfriend had told her sister that he loved her, she ordered a “dagger-like” knife set through the shipping service Amazon and hid the set in her wardrobe.
She waited until September 26 at 4:30 a.m. when her parents were asleep and stabbed her sister three or four times in the heart.
It was not until 15 hours later, at 7:30 p.m., that she reported her crime to the authorities. The summoned emergency services confirmed the sister’s death.
What does the indictment say? According to the logic of the indictment, this was a premeditated act, as the perpetrator waited until the family was asleep to murder her sister. No one should hear the incident:
The perpetrator consciously decided to kill her sister, and the decision was present in her mind at the time of the act.
The perpetrator shared a bedroom and bed with the victim
What does the perpetrator say? The perpetrator told the police that she and her sister shared a bedroom and the bed. Therefore, she could see that her sister was communicating with her boyfriend. When she confronted them, she told them she did not like it. But she felt her sister did not respect her objections.
When she stabbed her sister at night, the 20-year-old is said to have woken up and said: “What the fuck” and “Help.” The perpetrator says her sister was “moving too much.”
After the act, she considered taking her own life, but was dissuaded from it by another sibling.
What happens next? The 21-year-old is being held without bail in Orange County Jail and is charged with first-degree murder.
