A Tennessee mom has been charged with murder after she allegedly admitted to drowning her 7-year-old daughter last weekend.
33-year-old Brandi Elliott allegedly claimed she was having a “rough day” with the victim refusing to leave her alone when she committed the crime.
On Saturday, Hendersonville Police officers responded to reports of a child drowning and encountered Elliot.
The mother allegedly told detectives she held her child under the water “like a large mouth bass” until she heard her “bubbling.”
Telling her to “be quiet”, Elliot kept holding the girl underwater until she realized she “had done something wrong.”
The mother pulled the victim from the water and started performing CPR after calling the police.
The girl was rushed to a local hospital where she was declared dead shortly before midnight.
Elliot is being held at Sumner County Jail on first-degree murder charges.
