A mother and daughter are in custody for the alleged murder of a 71-year-old grandmother whose decomposing remains were sniffed out by police after she had been dismembered with a chainsaw and burned on a charcoal grill.
Candace Craig, 44, is accused of killing her mother Margaret Craig and enlisting in the help of her 19-year-old daughter Salia Hardy to dispose of the body, according to Prince George's County police.
Officers on Friday conducted a welfare check on the matriarch at the Landover, Maryland, and immediately smelled the odor of decomposition.
They discovered 'what appeared to be brain matter' in open trash bags, according to gruesome details revealed in court documents obtained by WJLA on Monday.
Both Candace and Salia are in the custody of the Prince George's County Department of Corrections and face charges in Margaret Craig's death.
Police claim Candace allegedly murdered her mother on May 23, following an altercation and then had her daughter help to dispose of the remains, which had were reportedly being kept in a blue bin in her bedroom.
While police are still working on identifying a motive, according to the press release.
Court documents allege that Margaret had threatened to report her daughter Candace to the police for fraudulent use of her credit card.
'Defendant 2 [Salia Hardy] stated that the Defedent threatened to report her daughter, Defendant 1 [Candace Craig], to the police for fraudulent use of her credit card.' Defendant 1 then attacked the Decedent,' the court documents stated.
The alleged attack happened just nine days after Mother's Day this year. In 2021, Candace had posted a heartfelt message to her mom on her Facebook page.

When she said she was having her Mom for dinner little did they know what she really meant. (Doesn’t that sound like a Farside caption?)
Serious evil. They looked drugged up
Oh my God. Oh my God. Help us.
Yep, the usual suspects again. I’m really tired of living in Rwanda.
Cut grandma up with a chain saw?
Roasted grandma in pieces on a grill?
There are no words.
Maybe the SS check was at risk ... did grandma want her $$ ?
I've heard of people hiding the death of a relative so the checks would keep coming ... Was grandma about to cut her off? They must have had a very sad relationship ... granddaughter too ... a shame
That one was on the grill a little too long.
These creatures are demonic. Dismembering her and cooking her on a grill?
This is insanity.
God is about ready to call the game.
Demons are roaming freely across this nation. That’s the only thing that makes sense.
Apparently granny was upset that the daughter was using her credit card without authorization.
I hope there was some sense behind the crime such as:
1) Family needed to keep receiving social security checks
2) Grandma just wouldn’t shut up
3) Grandma was a sustainability nut and wanted to know if she could feed her family.
I would hate to think it was something minor like threatening to re-elect Biden.
Couldn’t find a cleaver or butchers knife? Machete was right there by the chainsaw. Are you trying out for Scarface II? And even using a charcoal fired grill over propane. Probably still had that musty old grandma smell, eh?
I really hope this is the worst act of savagery I read about this year. There are truly monsters among us. This grandma looked 55 not 71, and did not deserve this beast as her daughter. RIP.
The most astonishing thing about the story is that the police simply came to do a welfare check on the mom and the daughter could have said she hasn’t seen her or that she went out shopping. Instead. She says sure come on in check out my chainsaw, brain matter, blood, flesh, and barbecued mom! Gotta be drug addicts.
Black eyes, like a dolls eye.
