“It’s a scenario where her mother wanted to repossess the phone her daughter was using to chat with. It seems the deceased was a strict mother, and she wasn’t happy about her girl doing a lot of communication without her knowledge. 

The suspect used all the means to fight her mother back, which ended in a fatality,” added the officer.

The teen suspect is said to have thrown the murder weapon into a pit latrine to conceal the evidence but later admitted to having killed her mother for not giving her some freedom.

The body of the deceased has been moved to Kapkatet Hospital mortuary while the suspect is being held at Emurua Dikiir police station.
