Jasmiyah ran out of the house in a hysterical state.

She flagged down the police officers. And she urged them to come with her. And they found her mother dead in the bathtub.

The police officers witnessed the horrific scene inside the house. There was blood everywhere.

The mother, Jarmecca, had been stabbed eighty times with a kitchen knife.

Her spinal cord was nearly severed. She had been hit, bitten, and scratched.

“When I walked in the front door, it was the first time I’d ever seen something as horrific as that.” — One of the officers
