Woman turns herself in after stabbing her mother to death: Police
MEMPHIS, Tenn. — A woman is now in jail after police say she stabbed her mother to death in her home on Tuesday.
Tiffany Lafay Green Barber, 43, is charged with first-degree murder and tampering with/fabricating evidence.
Memphis Police say they responded to a home in Uptown in the 600 block of Bethel Avenue regarding a disturbance call.
When they arrived, they said they found a woman sitting in a chair with multiple stab wounds. They say life-saving measures were performed, but their efforts were unsuccessful.
The woman was pronounced dead on the scene.
While officers and paramedics were still investigating the scene, they say Tiffany Green Barber, later identified as the victim’s daughter, walked into the police station with blood on her clothing.
Barber told police that she had stabbed someone in a home in the 600 block of Bethel Avenue and was taken into custody at that time.
Investigators say that during the interview, Barber told them she had stabbed her mother before leaving the scene and that she had put the murder weapon in the alley behind Bethel Avenue.
Tiffany Lafay Green Barber’s bond has yet to be set, but she is due in court on Wednesday at 9 a.m.
