A mother from Michigan, Katie Lee, is facing murder charges after her 17-year-old son, Austin Pikaart, was found dead at home. According to reports, Katie claimed that Austin asked her to end his life before he turned 18. On the day of the incident, she said they had tried to take too many medicines but did not succeed.
When the police arrived, Katie opened the door holding a knife covered in blood. She didn’t drop the knife when asked, so the officers had to use a taser on her. She was arrested after she finally threw the knife.
Inside the apartment, the police found Austin’s body on his bed with a cut on his neck. An autopsy confirmed that this was how he died. Katie could spend the rest of her life in prison if convicted. During her court appearance on Zoom, she was very emotional, crying for almost the entire time. Meanwhile, her family showed support by cheering, “We love you, Katie,” from the courtroom.
