LAKELAND, Fla. -- A 25-year-old central Florida woman is scheduled to appear in court after being accused of killing her father and 6-year-old daughter.
Polk County Sheriff's deputies say Cheyanne Jessie killed 50-year-old Mark Weekly and Meredith Jessie last month. She'll face two counts of first-degree murder and one count of tampering with evidence when she goes before a judge on Monday.
Sheriff Grady Judd says Jessie killed her father and daughter on July 18 at Weekly's home. She returned July 22, put their remains in plastic tote bins and took them to the landlord's shed.
