* 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.'

Makes more sense than her being a Cheap Trick fan. I had a girlfriend that tnought “Shatner” would be a good name for a boy, and she was no Trekkie.

“Who names their kid Zander?”

It’s usually just a nickname for Alexander.

This was the same response from a woman that recently killed a bride and severely injured the husband.

That story sounds like another example of a narcissist.

Heartbroken for the bride and groom.

Correct. There was even a chastisement in the New Testament for a similar thing.

James 3:10-11 - Out of the same mouth proceedeth blessing and cursing. My brethren, these things ought not so to be. Doth a fountain send forth at the same place sweet water and bitter?

It sounds more like a case of Demonic Possession to me. Her emotional state prior to committing the deed was not mentioned. However once the deed was done, and the Demon, his mission complete, left her, she appeared to be remorseful and sorry. But it was too late. Two lives have been changed for the worse and one has been destroyed. The Demon did his job well.

I’ve heard grandmothers saying “m-fer” openly, and loudly enough to be heard all around a park. That was an interesting extended family to watch while I fished.

With so much feral actions allowed in the streets now it will trickle down to the younger ones.

It’s not happening by accident it’s a plan and it’s working.

The most important sentence is almost at the very end.

“She goes to claim that the girl started having behavior issues when ‘she was put back on a medication she was off for over a year,’ adding that ‘it wasn’t psych meds.’”

Red flag city.

Australians have been known. The girl is a wacky idiot. God can’t help you now. The family is ruined due to stupidity.

Lol. Of course you know many. Most know none or maybe one in their lives. You hang out in interesting places to be able to know so many especially named Zander.

No...she was regretful.

Regret is when you're concerned about the consequences of your actions to yourself.

Remorse is when you're concerned about the consequences of your actions to others.

“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.”

So the god you believe in is not omniscient then? Interesting.
