Boy, 17, Half Sister, 12, Held in Mother’s Death
From Times Wire Reports
A 17-year-old boy and his 12-year-old half sister have been arrested on suspicion of killing their mother because she wouldn’t let the girl go to a party.
Police said the two allegedly smashed Francisca Comparan, 43, in the head with a frying pan, then strangled her with an extension cord last week.
Comparan’s sister reported her missing. Police went to the apartment, talked to the girl, learned about the killing and found the body in an outdoor storage closet.
