A domestic dispute inside a Bronx apartment turned deadly after a woman admitted to using a kitchen pot to kill her mother, according to police sources.
Police were called to the home on Westchester Avenue near Forest Avenue in the Mott Haven neighborhood early Monday for a domestic dispute, police sources told NBC New York, and found a woman with a severe head injury just before 4 a.m.
The 46 year-old victim was unresponsive with a visible wound to the back of her head. The woman’s 26-year-old daughter confessed to striking her mother with a large cooking pot, causing her to lose consciousness.
The daughter then called 911 and told the operator, "I just killed my mom," alleging she acted in self-defense as her mother attempted to attack her.
