A Maryland woman murdered her 71-year-old mother, dismembered her body with a chainsaw, and then attempted to incinerate the body parts on a grill, prosecutors say.
Candace Craig, 44, is being held in jail on charges of first and second degree murder, according to the Prince George’s County Police Department. Craig’s 19-year-old daughter, Salia Hardy, has also been charged with accessory after the fact, police said. Officers went to the home of Craig’s mother, Margaret Craig, on Friday to conduct a welfare check.
Authorities later found a chainsaw with human remains on it, the documents say. Police say Hardy told them that she overheard her grandmother threaten to report her mother for fraudulently using her credit card and that her mother then attacked her grandmother. The next day, Hardy and Craig “attempted to burn her remains on a grill and a fire at the rear of the residence,” charging documents say.
