A shocking incident in Hamptons, Florida, has left a community reeling. A 17-year-old boy is accused of murdering his mother in a brutal attack. The teen, who has a history of violence, is facing life in prison
A chilling case of domestic violence has unfolded in Hamptons, Florida, where a 17-year-old boy is suspected of murdering his own mother. The victim, identified as 39-year-old Katherine Griffith, was found with a fatal stab wound to her neck.
Police responded to a 911 call placed by the teen, Colin Griffith, who claimed that he and his mother had gotten into an argument that escalated into violence. He stated that his mother had "fallen on the knife" during the altercation.
However, upon arriving at the scene, authorities quickly realized that the teen's story was far from credible. Colin Griffith appeared calm and composed, despite being covered in blood. His lack of remorse and his insistence on his rights raised significant suspicions.
Criminal investigators concluded that the circumstances surrounding Katherine Griffith's death were inconsistent with the teen's account. They believe that Colin Griffith intentionally attacked his mother, causing the fatal injury.
The incident is not the first time Colin Griffith has been involved in a violent act. Last year, he was charged with the murder of his father, whom he claimed had attacked him with a knife. While the charges were eventually dropped due to insufficient evidence, the incident raises serious concerns about the teen's propensity for violence.
Colin Griffith is now facing life in prison on the charges of murdering his mother. The community of Hamptons is grappling with the tragic loss and the disturbing nature of the crime. As the investigation continues, authorities are working to uncover the full details of the incident and ensure that justice is served.
