A 58-year-old woman in Utah accused of killing her mother told authorities that "she deserved it" and that she would take the reason she did it "to the grave," Utah's Deseret News reported, citing an affidavit.
The woman, Lori Lee Donlay, was arrested on Friday at her residence in Taylorsville after officers from the Unified Police Department responded to a call from her daughter about the death of Carol Donlay, 84. Lori told authorities that she lived with Carol, Deseret News reported.
"Right about 8:30 we received a call of a possible death," Sgt. Melody Cutler told KSL-TV. "When officers arrived on scene, there was some blood in the area and things didn't look right to them."
According to Deseret News, the affidavit said investigators found "bloody injuries" on Carol's chest, blood on Lori's clothing, a bloody knife, and a path of blood leading to Lori's bedroom.
The affidavit said Lori told authorities during questioning, "She deserved it, and now she's in a better place," Deseret News reported.
"Lori also said she wouldn't tell why it happened and she'll take it to the grave," the affidavit said, according to the report.
Lori, who was sent to Salt Lake County Jail, told authorities that she would plead guilty, Deseret News reported.
