Florida Girl Killed Grandma With Walker And Belt
A Florida girl admits to killing her elderly grandmother by using the woman’s own walker and a belt in a gruesome murder that she’s shrugging off as a so-called “mercy killing.” Fourteen-year-old Sofia Koval has been charged with manslaughter in association with the killing, which took place back in May. Now the state has enough evidence to charge the teenager as an adult and pursue justice on behalf of 79-year-old Yevheniia Koval.
The horrifying incident took place in May after the teen’s father left her in the care of her 79-year-old grandmother. The Florida woman was murdered soon-after, having endured a violent beating at the hands of her own granddaughter. Sofia told her father initially that she’d killed her grandmother in self defense. However, as People reports, that motive doesn’t correlate with the injuries sustained by the woman — or the charged teen’s behavior.
The Florida girl had recently moved to The States from Ukraine, and her father claims that she’s been having behavioral problems after witnessing horrors of war. The girl’s father claims that he’d taken her phone away from her for punishment on the day of the killing, and that she might have lashed out at her grandmother as a result of this.
Honestly, it’s a tragedy that this girl is going through mental issues after fleeing the war in Ukraine, but she needs to be held fully accountable for her actions. Either she needs to be sent back to her home country to be dealt with among her kind, or she needs to be spend the rest of her life in prison.
