A 23-year-old Ohio woman killed her mother by beating her with an iron skillet and stabbing her dozens of times — because she’d found the younger woman had been kicked out of college.
Sydney Powell of Akron was found guilty of murder, felonious assault, and tampering with evidence in the brutal death of healthcare worker Brenda Powell, 50, according to the Summit County Prosecutor’s Office.
“In March of 2020, Powell struck Brenda Powell in the head with an iron skillet, then stabbed her nearly 30 times in the neck,” the office said in a release.
Powell, a former Mount Union University student, sobbed in the Summit County Common Pleas courtroom after a jury found her guilty Wednesday, the Akron Beacon Journal reported.
Police found Brenda inside her Scudder Drive home with severe injuries on March 3, 2020.
Prosecutors said Powell attacked her mother — a child life specialist at Akron Children’s Hospital — while she was on the phone with officials from her school.
