An Ohio woman allegedly drowned her grandmother the day after the 93-year-old was told she needed to be placed in a nursing home, in accordance with reports.
Granddaughter Heidi Matheny, of Eaton, is reportedly facing a murder charge after she confessed to the twisted crime that ended Alice Matheny’s life Tuesday.
“Based on the confession, she was just uninterested in taking good care of a grandmother,” Eaton Police Division Chief Steven Hurd said, in accordance with WDTN.
The granddaughter was fearful that she couldn’t afford the fee of the nursing home and insurance wouldn’t pick up the tab, in accordance with a police report obtained by the tv station.
After the granddaughter and grandmother enjoyed some ice cream, Heidi Matheny, 35, snuck up behind Alice Matheny while she was doing dishes and allegedly shoved her head into the sink, holding her there “until the bubbles stopped,” in accordance with the police report.
She then told police she filled up her bathtub and held her grandmother under for about quarter-hour because she wasn’t sure if she was dead, in accordance with WHIO.
Once Alice Matheny stopped respiratory, she left her in the bath and went to the police station where she fessed up, WHIO reported.
“It’s nothing that she did,” Heidi Matheny said within the police interview, in accordance with WDTN” She’s not – She’s the right freaking grandma.”
