A 21-year-old woman from Florida has been accused of first-degree murder for fatally stabbing her sister. The incident occurred after she discovered that her sister had been flirting with her boyfriend.

Reportedly, Fatiha Marzan took the life of her 20-year-old sister, Sayma Marzan, at 4:30 a.m. on September 26 in their shared bedroom in Orlando.

Fatiha became aware that her long-distance boyfriend of five years and her sister had engaged in flirtatious exchanges through a video game they played together, as per the Orlando Sentinel.

Allegedly, after learning that her boyfriend had expressed his love for Sayma, she decided to take her sister’s life.

Two weeks before the tragic event, Fatiha purchased a “dagger style knife set” from Amazon, according to investigators.

After concealing the knives in a closet, she waited until her family members had retired for the night. It was then that she retrieved a knife and reportedly stabbed her sister in the heart three to four times in their shared bedroom, as revealed by the police.

Hours after the incident, at 7:30 p.m., Fatiha called 911 and admitted to stabbing her sister.

Upon their arrival, deputies discovered Sayma deceased inside the home.

Authorities stated that Fatiha confessed to stabbing her sister three to four times, specifically targeting her heart.

She is currently held without bond at Orange County Jail.
