Girl, 14, 'killed mother because she disapproved of boyfriend'

A teenage couple have been arrested on suspicion of killing the 14-year-old girl's mother, after she disapproved of their relationship.

Tylar Witt, 14, and her 19-year-old lover Steven Colver are thought to have fled after murdering her mother in a violent attack.

Police found the body of 47-year-old Joanne Witt on Monday morning in the bedroom of her home in El Dorado Hills, near Sacramento in California.



Sft Jim Byers said she died after suffering 'violent injuries' but refused to elaborate on the manner of her death.

He said the department issued warrants later that day for the arrest of Witt's daughter, Tylar and her boyfriend.

The teenage couple were arrested 24 hours later in San Bruno just over 100 miles away
