CLARKSBURG, W.Va. (TCN) — A 41-year-old woman faces murder charges after she allegedly killed her mother several weeks after the victim bailed her out of jail.

According to WBOY-TV, on Saturday, March 22, Clarksburg Police Department officers were called to a home on Laurel Drive regarding a disturbance and found 64-year-old Elaine Labenne with stab wounds. Medics pronounced Labenne deceased at the scene. Police arrested Labenne’s daughter, Shanna Vannorman, at the residence and took her into custody on suspicion of murder.

Vannorman has faced other criminal charges in the past, including an arrest for disorderly conduct and assault of government representatives, health care providers, utility workers, or law enforcement on Jan. 16. She pleaded not guilty to the charges. A judge set her bond at $2,000, and she was released the next day after Labenne posted her bond.

Vannorman is in custody at the North Central Regional Jail.
