A Michigan teen is accused of killing her father on Mother’s Day because he “would tease her about being fat,” local media reported. .

Authorities discovered Stokes’ body in the stairway at his home in Mt. Morris Township, about 80 miles from Detroit. Stokes allegedly had been hit in the head with a hammer and stabbed in the chest. .

Ameera Stokes was charged with first-degree murder in connection with her father’s death. Authorities said the incident occurred following an argument over “life issues.”

The teenager’s mother, Gretchen L. Brasher, told WJRT her daughter had a tense relationship with her father. Brasher said Stokes father “would tease her about being fat.” “He was very verbally abusive,” Brasher said. .

“She [Ameera] had a belly, so he would tease her about being fat. He would like let her have an apple for dessert, while everybody else was having something better.” .

Genesee County Prosecutor David Leyton said the teenager struck her father in the head with a hammer. As he lay on a mattress, convulsing, the girl allegedly stabbed him in the chest multiple times, killing him.
