A 14-year-old Ukrainian girl has been charged as an adult in the death of her frail 80-year-old grandmother, allegedly beaten with a belt and walker in a condo in Florida.
Sofia Koval faces a manslaughter charge in the death of Yevheniia Koval, prosecutors said. A judge found probable cause and ordered the girl on Wednesday to be held in custody at the Broward County Jail without bond, the Broward State Attorney’s Office announced in a press release.
