A 12-year-old girl arrested by US police in Colorado who was trying to kill her mother twice by poisoning her drink with bleach after mother resisted her using the iPhone and took away the iPhone.
According to sources the mother drank the caustic fluid on one of the two attempts, which both happened within a week this month. On March 2, the girl poured bleach into a breakfast smoothie that she had prepared for her mother, said police.
While the mother noticed the smell of bleach from her glass, but the woman assumed that her daughter hadn’t rinsed it properly, according to police.
The woman, whose name kept in dark by the authorities, was treated at a local hospital and released.
Four days later, the girl allegedly poured bleach into a water bottle kept in mother’s bedroom. When the woman smelt bleach, she became suspicious and reported the girl to police.
“This is when she learned her daughter had developed the plan to kill her for taking away her iPhone,” police said.
