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.

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.

Cut grandma up with a chain saw?

That chain saw will be full of DNA; ever try to clean up your chain saw?
