According to Philadelphia’s Channel 6 ABC Action News, charges against three Howard High School of Technology students in Wilmington, DE could come as early as today in the death of Amy Joyner-Francis. While not specifying who gave the information, only giving a description of a law enforcement veteran, Channel 6 wrote:
A law enforcement veteran close to the investigation says Joyner-Francis was thrown to the floor during the altercation, and stabbed repeatedly with pencils. Then the source says one of girls slammed her head into a sink.
Only one will be charged with the actual murder:
Sources tell Action News one of the female students will be charged with the actual killing of Joyner-Francis. The other two will be charged as accomplices.
Earlier reports surrounding the use of knives in the assault appear to be false based on this information. Someone explained to me that if there are stab wounds they cannot administer CPR to a patient. Which made me wonder about the validity of that information once I heard that. Once the official information is released from the Wilmington Police Department, we will know what is real and what isn’t.
Updated, 5:41pm: Amy Cherry with WDEL announced earlier this afternoon a statement from Wilmington Police Dept. Chief Bobby Cummings. No charges will be filed this week, and despite the information Channel 6 ABC news gave last night, they reiterated there were NO weapons used in the murder. I’m not sure where a Philadelphia station is getting their information, but they may want to double-check that source!
