Detective Elias Q. Saralu said police received a domestic disturbance call on Oct. 12, 2011, from the victim’s residence in Finasisu.
Prior to the incident, at about 7:45 a.m., the victim was inside her bedroom preparing for school, when her mother knocked on her door, telling the victim she was taking too long getting ready.
The defendant opened the door and asked her daughter why she’ was hanging out with her friend whose “parents are poker and drug addicts,” according to Saralu.
The victim told her mother she didn’t want to talk to her.
The defendant approached her daughter and squeezed the victim’s mouth, police said.
Afterward, the daughter walked outside of their house and sat on a chair. The mother followed and continued scolding her daughter for refusing to talk to her.
The daughter told her mother “to leave her alone and that she does not care about her.”
Police said the mother then punched her daughter on the left upper lip, pulled the victim’s legs, and pulled her off the chair.
The victim fell to the concrete ground on her back, and her head hit the chair she was sitting on, police said.
The victim tried to get up, but her mother pulled her hair and wrapped her right hand around her neck holding her down, police said.
The daughter started to punch the back of her mother, and bit her mother’s left cheek, police added.
The mother swung her right hand, hitting the victim on her left eye, police said.
The mother then pulled her daughter into the house, placed the victim on the couch, sat on top of the victim, and called 911.
