A Texas woman has been charged with stabbing her uncle to death after he told her to start cooking.
Fort Worth Police announced the arrest of Ashley Marie Siebenaller, 32, on Monday, KDFW reports. They said they were called to a home on December 26 shortly afternoon noon for a stabbing and found 64-year-old Tony Vernon Graham with a stab wound to the chest. He died on the scene shortly afterward.
Witnesses told police that Siebenaller and Graham had been arguing before they found Graham on the floor. One of them found a bloody knife on the couch and moved it to a table.
Siebenaller initially denied stabbing Graham but later admitted doing so, an affidavit said. She said she had been upset with her uncle because he locked her out of the house earlier in the day and then “pissed her off” when he told her she needed to start cooking. She claimed Graham stabbed her in the mouth first, although investigators said they saw no injuries.
Siebenaller was not arrested until Monday, however. On January 2, a roommate in the house called police and said Siebenaller was standing outside their room holding a knife.
Police obtained a warrant for her arrest the next day, and she was booked into the Tarrant County jail on Monday, charged with murder.
No bond has been set.
