* The siblings' mother April Lyda told police she was asleep when her daughter woke her up to say she had stabbed her brother, Zander
****************************************************************
Police bodycam footage captured the horrifying moments after a 12-year-old girl allegedly stabbed her nine-year-old brother to death in their Oklahoma home.
The siblings' mother April Lyda told police she was asleep upstairs when her daughter woke her up shortly before midnight to say she had stabbed her brother, Zander.
The girl, who has not been named by police, is heard sobbing and repeatedly apologizing as officers arrived at the downtown Tulsa home on January 5.
The boy was rushed to the hospital and taken into surgery, but died from his injuries shortly after 2:30 a.m. CT.
The edited video, obtained by The Law & Crime Network, begins with the girl running downstairs as she yells, 'I'm so sorry. I'm so sorry.'
As the girl is taken out of the home by police, Lyda appears by the door frame saying the boy has stab wounds on his chest.
'You better pray to God he f*****g lives,' she tells the girl.
'I'm so sorry, momma,' the girl replies. 'I don't know what happened.'
The handcuffed girl then leads police to the knife she supposedly used to stab her brother, which she had thrown out of a window.
Once in the patrol car, the girl asks if she's going to jail as an officer tries to console her saying it's too soon to tell.
'I ruined my life,' she says. 'I ruined my whole future. It's all my fault.'
At one point, the girl appears to pray as she says: 'God, please help me. What the f***. Please. F*** please.'

Who names their kid Zander?
Mom and the 12 year old throwing the f bomb around so casually tells you all you need to know.
So much sadness in this world.
” appears to pray as she says: ‘God, please help me. What the f***. Please. F*** please.’”
Interesting vocabulary for a prayer. Probably not “getting through” to Him.
Just damn...
“Who names their kid Zander?”
Really. His Bad Seed sister may have spared him from a lifetime of ridicule.
Heartbreaking. Lives forever changed.
I don’t care what kind of person you are, if you just had your daughter stab your son to death.. I don’t think you are going to be using “clean” language...
Really?
So you believe God only hears the prayers of the pure of heart?
Wow, not sure what branch of Christianity you were exposed to, but I think you missed some of the important parts.
The Zanders I have met were all F to M trans
Why be so quick to decide the limits of God’s mercy? It is such a sad situation, sounds like this girl grew up in a terrible environment, I would hope God understands all that.
It's all about her. Her life. Her future.
Notice she has no compassion for her brother.
Short for Alexander. Probaby an old Buffy the Vampire Slayer fan.
“So you believe God only hears the prayers of the pure of heart?”
The first prayer He hears of a person with an un-pure heart (and we’re all born with an un-pure heart) is when he prays the Sinners Prayer and accepts Christ as Savior.
Of course only God knows a person’s status but, considering this kid’s language, a reasonable person would doubt that she’s a Christian. She (hopefully) has time to make a decision for Christ. Maybe this event will be a literal “come-to-Jesus moment” for her.
I think God will listen to a child even if she uses trashy language.
My in-law did. First Id heard of it. Not a fan.
There’s a GoFundMe up for the family...
With the hate it would require to stab your own sibling, I wouldn’t expect to see compassion.
The article says there was “medication” involved.
