MARYLAND WOMAN KILLED HER MOTHER. THEN, SHE DISMEMBERED AND GRILLED HER REMAINS ON A BONFIRE.

A Hyattsville woman will never walk free again after she killed her mother, dismembered her and grilled her remains.

A Prince George’s County Circuit Court judge handed Candace Craig, 46, a life term in prison without the possibility of parole for the brutal death of her mother, 71 years old Margaret Craig. After an 8-day trial and less than an hour of deliberation, Craig was found guilty and convicted of first-degree murder, tampering with evidence, and disposing of a body in an unauthorized location.

“This was truly a heartbreaking case. Candace Craig was heartless towards her mother. A daughter who was supposed to be taking care of her mother instead took advantage of her by stealing from her and then murdering her when she discovered the fraud,” said the State’s Attorney Aisha Braveboy, according to WUSA9.

On June 2, 2023, the Prince Georges Police Department responded to the home shared by Margaret Craig, the defendant, and her 21-year-old daughter, Salia Hardy, for a welfare check. A neighbor noticed Margaret Craig had been missing for almost two weeks, recognizing the smell of decomposed flesh and blood tissue next to three white trash bags.
