The USA
Mother and daughter cut up and grilled grandma
Published 6/10/2023
A woman and her daughter from the US state of Maryland are accused of dismembering the family matriarch with a chainsaw and then grilling the body parts to get rid of them. According to the police, the reason for the macabre act is a fight over a credit card.
71-year-old Margaret Craig had been dead for more than a week when police last week made the bizarre discovery at the family home during a raid.
When the police patrol went down into the basement, they immediately smelled it. A preliminary investigation by homicide detectives has determined that the woman's daughter, 44-year-old Candace Craig, allegedly murdered her mother on May 23. The next day, her 19-year-old daughter, Salia Hardy, allegedly helped her dispose of her grandmother's body.
In the basement, they "observed blood and tissue on the floor near three white plastic bags" and police said they also found "what appeared to be brain material" in one of the bags and noticed a knife on the floor that later disappeared. Additional cutting instruments, the lid of a chainsaw, cleaning materials and blood spatter were found in the basement which reeked of decay.
Argument over credit card
When Salia Hardy was interviewed by detectives, she allegedly told them that her grandmother had accused Candace of credit card fraud and threatened to report her to the police.
The two women started arguing and it all escalated into a physical attack that resulted in Margaret's death. The next day, Hardy discovered his grandmother's body stuffed in a blue plastic container in her bedroom and reportedly helped his mother dispose of it.
"After that, [Candace Craig] and her daughter dismembered the body, using a chainsaw I believe, and then tried to dispose of the body parts with fire on a grill and in a campfire," said Assistant State's Attorney Jessica Garth .
DNA test
When police arrived 10 days later, the rotting remains had been mutilated beyond recognition, but prosecutors said they are confident DNA testing will confirm the body parts found at the crime scene belonged to the grandmother.
Candace Craig has now been charged with first and second degree murder. The daughter is charged with aiding and abetting.
