LONDON -- A 12-year-old girl has been arrested and charged with murder after allegedly stabbing a 37-year-old woman to death, police said.

In the early hours of Thursday morning in Melbourne, Australia, in an inner-city suburb called Footscray, Victoria Police said a “37-year-old woman was located deceased shortly before 2 a.m.” and that a 12-year-old girl is suspected of fatally stabbing the woman to death at an address on Barkly Street, according to authorities.

Victoria Police did not say if the deceased woman and the suspect knew each other and have not yet revealed their identities.

No motive is currently known for the attack but police have confirmed that the 12-year-old girl has been charged with one count of murder.

“She has been remanded to appear before a children’s court at a later date,” Katherine McLeod from the Victoria Police Media Unit said.

The investigation is currently active and ongoing.

Was just thinking of that movie, "The Bad Seed". But in this case, it was probably a muslim 12-year-old.

That was a real horror movie. The part where she sets the handyman on fire still gives me the willies.

They have far-leftists.

Almost no conservative media in Australia.

A 12 year old girl. That’s the 7th grade? Nobody was thinking murder when I was in the 7th grade.

Not sure.

I hope some podcasts are getting popular.

The Aussi government is talking about cracking down on "misinformation".
