ST. LOUIS (Reuters) - A 12-year-old girl has been charged with murder after she told police she strangled her 9-year-old sister in a fight over a hamburger, officials said on Tuesday.
The St. Louis Medical Examiner's office said it ruled the death of the younger girl a homicide weeks after her body was found in her home on Dec. 22.
Authorities were unable to determine how she died until the 12-year-old said she killed her younger sister in a spat over a hamburger, investigators said. She made the admission during a conversation with a case worker at a hospital where she was being treated for psychiatric problems.
