Sentenced: Woman Stabs Mom To Death After Arguing About Going Back To School

[Sugar Cookie]

A 22-year-old Rahway woman argued with her mother twice on Sunday about going back to school and her living situation before stabbing her to death, according to authorities.

Malika Jones was charged with murder and weapons offenses after police arrived at the home shortly after 3 p.m. and found Inell Jones dead, authorities said.

An affidavit of probable cause filed by police states the mother and daughter quarreled around 7 a.m. and then again in the afternoon on the same topics shortly before the younger Jones used a kitchen knife to stab her 57-year-old mother once in the upper chest.

During the second argument, a man who was in the apartment with the women that day told to police that he heard Inell Jones yell that her daughter had harmed herself and needed to go to the hospital, authorities said.

The man also told investigators he heard dishes breaking in the kitchen shortly before police say Jones attacked her mother, authorities said.

After the stabbing, Malika Jones called 911 and told the dispatcher that her mother was unresponsive and that the stabbing was “an accident,” authorities said. She later claimed that her mother tried to hurt her, authorities said.

When police arrived, officers noticed Malika Jones had a cut on her wrist and that her shirt was bloody, authorities said.

Good luck maintaining that afro in prison.

 

[Bipedalprimate]

Now that's the face of crazy. Kinda pretty but I am a sucker for psychopathy and dark skin....

 

[Totemic]

Well guess she improved her living arrangements and definitely doesn't need to worry about going back to school!

 

[rushman]

I think her "Living Situation" may change a tad

 

[Sevens My Charm]

Maybe mom was trying to get her to change her life choices.. people.. places.. lovers.. drugs.. maybe mom wasn't using the right currency or maybe this young adult doesn't have a currency to her mind right now.. it's not worth murder.. tell your mom you're grown and to fuck off and go support yourself and your lifestyle and .. when this young person would ever to manage to pull her head out of her ass when rock bottom hits she'll understand mom might have been right.. welcome to rock bottom

 

[Sejanus]

It would be truly ironic if she completes school behind bars.
Deny her that right as well as access to books and entertainment of any kind.

 

[ummmm yea tht part]

All she had to do was wait, shit schools canceled the rest of the year. Now her dumb ass finna get life

 

[cubby]

With that afro, she won't have to worry about keeping that 6ft distance around her, nobody is able to get any closer to her without getting all up in her hair

 

[Brillig]

Sorry, she doesn’t have straight “pretty girl” hair.

That wasn't my point at all. Afros are very high maintenance, which won't be possible in prison. Your "straight pretty girl" hair would be difficult to maintain in prison as well since it requires either regular chemical processing or a weave.

 

[BuffettGirl]

Wait, does @Concept2complex think my waist length curly (like a perm on it's way to dying) hair disqualifies me from being pretty?

 

[Brillig]

I'm so jealous @BuffettGirl ! I always wanted naturally curly hair, but the universe gave me super straight instead.

I'm so jealous @BuffettGirl ! I always wanted naturally curly hair, but the universe gave me super straight instead.

Don't be, my sister got the big fat sausage curls, I got a 1980's spiral perm on it's very last legs! The sad part is it's super fine (I have a ton of it, but individually, the strands are fine) and I live in the rainy PNW like you do. So it's like fuzzball city most of the year.

Cage this animal till she dies

Female perpetrator so law wont give much of a shit. Also, theyll prob do some 2nd degree bullshit even though it is obviously murder in the first. They might even buy her bullshit self defense claims.

15 years tops. Sick.

@Brillig

I found nothing offensive with your comment.

Even white woman could have trouble maintaining their hair in prison.

 

[BuffettGirl]

The fact that I put PRETTY GIRL HAIR in quotes shows that I was speaking sarcastically. So stop with the long face baby girl you’re still beautiful.

Aww, thanks! I was really just teasing you. Every now and then I pretend to get all hyper insulted like an SJW just to have something to whinge about.

A city woman has been sentenced to ten years in state prison for stabbing her mother to death in 2020.

Malika Jones, 26, was convicted of aggravated manslaughter in November after a trial that lasted for three weeks. The Union County jury deliberated for a day and a half.


Jones must serve 8.5 years of her sentence before she becomes eligible for parole. She was sentenced on Friday, Jan. 26.

The then 22-year-old former Barnard College student stabbed her mother to death at her home on East Albert Street on Feb. 16, 2020. First responders declared Inell Jones, 58, dead at the scene, according to the Union County Prosecutor's Office.

Jones waited 20 minutes before calling the police after the stabbing, prosecutors said.
