A 12-year-old girl tried to kill her 4-year-old stepbrother by poisoning him with a cleaning product, according to officials.
The girl was charged with murder in Oak Grove, Kentucky, on Wednesday.
“It’s quite normal for brothers and sisters to fight, brothers and sisters to disagree. This is kind of above the normal for what we would expect out of that age,” he added.
According to a Christian County sheriff report, the mother found the girl had sent someone a Skype message saying she was going to use Mr. Clean to get rid of her stepbrother.
When deputies asked the daughter why she had poisoned the boy, she said “it was because he was annoying her,” according to police reports.
She was then arrested and charged with murder.
“We’re talking about a 12-year-old here, so we are looking into the mind of a 12-year-old, what bothers her and what makes her tick. This is obviously something that bothered her,” Captain Miller said.
