A Long Island boy is behind bars after he attacked his mother and grandmother with a chef’s knife inside their Selden home late Monday night.
Police said the 15-year-old boy had been “acting out as of late, skipping school and barricading himself in his bedroom.”
On Monday night, the boy’s mother, Vanessa Chendemi, confronted him about content he had on his computer and threatened to confiscate the device, something her mother, 56-year-old Concetta Chendemi, encouraged.
The juvenile then grabbed a chef’s knife and attacked his 36-year-old mother, who “fell to the kitchen floor and pretended to be dead to stop the attack.|
The boy also stabbed his grandmother, who succumbed to her injuries. The mother ran out of the home and flagged down a person driving in the area, who stopped to help and called 911.
Police arrested the suspect just before 11:30 p.m., less than two hours after the attack. He was charged with second-degree murder and attempted murder.
