MOUNT OLIVET, Ky. (AP) — A Kentucky woman who was arrested after police found her mother’s dismembered body has been indicted on a murder charge. The grand jury in Robertson County returned the indictment Monday. Police were called to a home in northern Kentucky on Wednesday and found a dismembered body. They obtained a warrant and arrested 32-year-old Torilena Fields. She has been charged with abuse of a corpse, evidence tampering and obstruction. The indictment says Fields shot her mother and stabbed her multiple times before dismembering her corpse. A judge set Fields’ bond at $1.5 million. Fields does not yet have an attorney.
