In a tragic recent incident, a woman from New Jersey named Amanda Ramirez, 27, has reportedly been arrested as a suspect in the murder of her twin sister, Anna Ramirez, in their own apartment.
Details about the case are still unclear and have been coming out slowly, but reports indicate that the woman had stabbed her sister at some point on Saturday in circumstances that remain sketchy and unconfirmed.
Police were alerted to the crime by a phone call that reported an unconscious woman with a stab wound, but it is not clear who made the call in the first place.
The victim was taken to a nearby hospital, where she, unfortunately, passed away within the hour.
Authorities have taken the suspected killer in and have charged her with the murder of her sister.
She is still being held in custody, and it is not confirmed whether she will be allowed out on bail yet.
There has been much discussion about the case in local online communities, especially on social media.
Many have started to question the situation as a whole, wondering why the woman would kill her sister, and asking whether there might be more beneath the surface that the public is not seeing yet.
However, authorities have been maintaining their distance from the public in this case, refusing to go into too much detail until the woman has been officially brought up to court for the alleged murder.
She is currently held at the Camden County Correctional Facility and awaiting pretrial and has not offered any public comments on the situation from her side so far.
Officers allege: “Amanda Ramirez stated she struggled with her sister for control of the knife, and she ultimately stabbed her sister in the chest.”
Hours before the fatal stabbing, Anna posted a picture on social media featuring her sister and two friends. The caption read: “You know the vibe.”
A GoFund page was set up for the mother of three; it states: “Anna leaves behind 3 beautiful daughters, a broken hearted mother, and a family that adored her. Her humble demeanor, kindness and willingness to give with a pure heart allowed her true beauty to shine through.”
A few commenters are arguing about the need for tensions to be de-escalated in families to avoid tragic situations like this one.
