Girl, 14, charged with murdering girl, 11, in Ill.

MUNDELEIN, Ill. - A 14-year-old girl is charged with murder in the death of an 11-year-old girl, reports CBS Chicago.

Mundelein Police Chief Eric Guenther said police received a 911 call around 8:30 a.m. Tuesday from a home in the community about 40 miles northwest of Chicago. When officers arrived, they reportedly found an 11-year-old girl dead in a bedroom.

“Multiple stab wounds were evident,” Guenther said, but an autopsy has yet to confirm the cause of death.

Guenther said the victim’s parents were notified of her death early Tuesday evening.

“As I’m sure you can understand, it was very difficult news to deliver, and for them to hear. So they are coping in the way that they know to cope, and are with their family now,” he said.

Guenther said a 14-year-old girl is charged with first-degree murder in the case.

“We are very confident that this is an isolated incident, and that there are no other concerns to the neighbors and/or the community,” he said.

The suspect was scheduled to appear before a juvenile court judge at in Vernon Hills Wednesday afternoon.

Lake County State’s Attorney Michael Nerheim said it has not been decided whether the teen will be charged as an adult, according to the station.

The 14-year-old girl was the one who called 911, according to Guenther. He said the two girls were the only people home at the time.

The 14-year-old first told police there had been a home invasion, prompting a brief lockdown for three local schools, but she later changed her story, reports CBS Chicago.

Police would not comment on the relationship between the two girls, but neighbors reportedly said they are sisters.
