Texas Teen Tries To Revive Twin Sister With CPR After Allegedly Fatally Stabbing Her

A Texas teen boy who allegedly stabbed his twin sister to death has been charged with murder, police said.

The Harris County Sheriff's deputies responded to a residence in Katy, following an emergency call in the wee hours of Wednesday. The officers found the 17-year-old victim, Meghan Elliott, dead with stab wounds in her bedroom and Benjamin Elliott, the victim's twin brother performing CPR on the girl, trying to revive her, Harris County Sheriff Ed Gonzalez said.

Benjamin was identified as the possible suspect and was detained at the scene, reported Click 2 Houston.

The siblings' parents were asleep during the incident, police said. Authorities believe Benjamin made the 911 call after the fatal stabbing.

"The possible suspect, also 17, is believed to be the female’s twin sibling," Gonzalez tweeted. "The male is detained. The female has been pronounced deceased on scene," he added.

Benjamin was charged with the murder and booked in the Harris County jail Wednesday afternoon, reported ABC 13.

The police said there were no indications of struggle at the scene and they have recovered the knife used for stabbing. However, the investigators have not determined the possible motive behind the murder.

The officials said they were trying to search the house after the incident, but the parents of the victim resisted the search.

“The parents of the 17-year told us they did not give us consent to search the home, and that’s one reason why we have been out here so long. We had to have a warrant drawn up and drafted,” Deputy Thomas Gilliland, who responded to the scene, said.

According to reports from neighbors, the twins who usually kept to themselves appeared to be in a good relationship.

“They were wonderful neighbors, nice and quiet and absolutely no problems,” a neighbor told Click2 Houston.

Earlier this month, a teen boy from Texas killed his family and shared photos of his murdered family members on social media. The 15-year-old boy, William Quince Colburn III, sent images of his dead family members to other users on the social media app Discord and shot himself dead when police responded to their residence.
