Elma David of Trinidad, 23 was charged with the murder of her Grandmother Edna, Elma is an outpatient of St. Ann’s Psychiatric hospital.

Elma David of Trinidad, the only granddaughter, of 88 year old Edna David was charged with her murder at her court appearance on Monday in Trinidad.

An autopsy was ordered on the Body of Edna David who was originally believed to have passed by natural causes. However, the autopsy revealed that the grandmother died of suffocation. One week later her granddaughter, Elma, was charged for her murder. Mental health may be an issue in this case as the 23 year old Elma is an outpatient of the St. Ann’s Psychiatric Hospital.

She is expected to appear again in court on June 11th.
