Girl, 14, goes viral on TikTok days before ‘stabbing disabled sister to death’
A 14-year-old girl has been charged with murder after she allegedly stabbed her disabled older sister in the neck – just days after one of her TikTok posts went viral.
Claire Miller, from Pennsylvania in the US, phoned 911 in hysterics shortly after 1am on February 22, police said.
When an officer arrived at the family home, she was trying to wash her bloodstained hands in the snow and saying "I stabbed my sister", according to the Manheim Township Police Department.
An arrest affidavit states the officer found the body of her 19-year-old sister Helen Miller, who had cerebral palsy and used a wheelchair, in a bedroom.
Officers said she had a large knife by her neck and a pillow with bloodstains over her face, the Daily Beast reported.
Claire was arrested at the scene, and an officer attempted to resuscitate Helen before she was pronounced dead at 4.13am.
According to reports, a video Claire posted on TikTok the day before her sister's death, went on to amass almost 5 million views.
People discussed the shocking news in the comments section – though it is not clear what the video depicted.

The teenager has been charged with homicide and is being held in Lancaster County Prison after she was denied bail.
