A woman has been arrested by the police after she allegedly stabbed a teenager to death in revenge for her sister.
Madison Branch was murdered by the suspect, Tiffany James
A 19-year-old woman allegedly stabbed a 14-year-old girl to death at a gas station in revenge for bullying and tormenting her younger sister for years,
Dailymail reported. The woman identified as Tiffany James allegedly stabbed schoolgirl Madison Branch in the stomach in the Portland neighborhood, in Oregon.
The suspect has now been arrested by the police following the incident around 6pm on Monday and charged with Branch's murder. A fight had broken out between two groups of girls at a Speedway gas station near the intersection of N. 21st Street and Rowan Street.
However Branch's family told a very different story.
Branch's aunt, Christy Branch said: 'They are saying this so they think they have a self-defense case. They don't. They have a murder case.
'Maddie is the victim here. Nobody is a victim besides Madison. And we will get justice for her. 'Yes, the little girl was victimized, the little girl was bullied, I know that. But not by Madison Branch.'

She added: 'She was great. She was awesome. She could bring a smile to anyone's face. Never, never-ever has my niece bullied anybody, never.'
James' lawyer asked for home incarceration. The judge denied the request and upped her bond to $100,000 cash, Whas11 reported.
Jefferson County Public Schools confirmed Branch graduated from Westoport middle school and was due to start 9th grade at the Academy at Shawnee next school year. James remains behind bars and is due in court again on July 7.
