A teenage Florida girl is being held in juvenile detention but could be charged as an adult after admitting to killing her mother and her mother’s much younger boyfriend earlier this month, police say.

Julia Grace Egler, 16, stands accused of two counts of murder in the first degree, according to the Palm Bay Police Department.

The defendant had a chilling, final message for Kelley McCollom, 42, and Matthew Szejnrok, 22, on Saturday night, authorities claim.

“Welcome home,” the girl allegedly told the May-December couple as the fatal ambush began inside the house on Benchor Road on July 6.
