Teen Aged Sisters Kill Father In Revenge Plot
CHICAGO AP Authorities say two teen sisters plotted a cool and calculated murder to avenge alleged abuse. Avelina 15 and Sharon 13 are in Cook County Juvenile Center charged with killing their father John Thomas a 60 year old cab driver. They described planning the attack during dinner as revenge after a quarrel over missing money. The gun was the father’s .38 caliber revolver. The sisters signaled each other to escalate the attack, and after the shooting they hid the weapon in a bag then dumped it in a garbage can where police later recovered it. The body was not found until the following evening. The girls, one a high school freshman and the other a seventh grader, initially blamed a robbery.
