A 13-year-old girl was arrested last week after her father caught her trying to kill him while he slept.
According to KWCH-TV, early in the morning of Saturday, November 25, police officers in the city of Salina, Kansas responded to a residence after a report of an attempted murder.
The 13-year-old girl allegedly entered her parents’ bedroom armed with a pillow and a knife, then tried to suffocate her father.
The father allegedly woke up when his daughter had allegedly just put the pillow on her face. However, he would not have been aware of his daughter’s presence nor would he have understood how the pillow had gotten there.
The teenager took refuge in a closet, where she remained hidden until her father went back to sleep.
She then repeated the operation, this time forcing her father to get up.
It was by looking at the images from the security cameras that the teenager’s father understood. He would have seen his daughter enter his room and try to suffocate him.
The girl reportedly told police she wanted to kill her parents.
Salina police arrested the teen, whose name has not been released, on two counts of attempted first-degree murder. She was placed in a juvenile detention center.
