Cops: Teen murdered 9-year-old sister by hanging her from tree
Alabama girl found by foster mom, hanging from tree
May 14th, 2012
Police are investigating what they are calling a murder of a 9-year-old at the hands of her teenage brother.
St. Clair County Sheriff, Terry Surles, is calling the hanging of a 9-year-old Alabama girl, “intentional.” Last Thursday, the 3rd grade student at Ragland Elementary School was found hanging from a tree. Police say that the girl’s 14-year-old half brother is the one responsible. The brother and sister were living together in a foster home.
The sibling’s foster mother found the victim, Katelynn Arnold, hanging from a tree with a rope tied around her neck like a noose. Sherrif Surles said in a press conference that the foster mom initially drove around looking for the girl when she noticed her missing and then came back to house where she found Katelynn hanging from a tree.
According to KSDK News, Arnold was taken to the hospital but was later pronounced dead.
The girl’s brother has been arrested and charged with murder.
The principal at Katelynn’s school said, “[Katelynn was like] ones that that love learning and love coming to school, you know, they’re just one of our bright lights here. She was definitely one of our bright lights.”
The girl’s Pastor, Douglas Ford, said simply that he was “heartbroken.”
