A 22-year-old woman in North Carolina has been arrested for allegedly killing her 10-year-old sister, stabbing the child multiple times inside of their family home before dragging her body into the backyard. Kaneijah Zyir Bradley was taken into custody on Tuesday and charged with the murder of her younger sister, authorities announced.

According to a news release from the Halifax County Sheriff’s Office, deputies at about 10:30 p.m. on Tuesday responded to a residence located in the 2000 block of Beaverdam Road regarding a mother reporting her 10-year-old child missing.

Upon arriving at the scene, first responders learned that the girl’s mother had located the missing child in the backyard of the home. Deputies on the scene said the little girl “appeared to be deceased.”

“Further investigation revealed that the child had been stabbed multiple times and was in fact deceased,” the sheriff’s office wrote in the release. “Through investigation by Investigators, it is believed that the victim had been stabbed inside the home and moved outside to the rear of the home.”

Investigators quickly homed in on a suspect and placed Bradley under arrest for murder. She is currently being housed in the Halifax County Detention Center without bond. She is scheduled to appear in county district court on Jan. 25.

The sheriff’s office said that the motive for alleged attack “is unclear at this time” as the investigation remains ongoing. Authorities are asking anyone with information relevant to the case to contact Lieutenant R. Somogyi at (252) 583-8201.
