Two identical teenage twins — once seen as “model students” — shocked the world when they brutally murdered their own mother in cold blood.
Jasmiyah and Tasmiyah Whitehead were just 16 when they turned their quiet family home in Conyers, Georgia into a crime scene so horrific that one officer called it “the bloodiest I’ve ever been to.”
Their mother, 34-year-old Nikki Whitehead, had fought to win custody back from the twins’ great-grandmother, Della Frazier, who had raised the girls for years. But just one week after moving back in with their mom in January 2010, the teens snapped.
When police arrived, Nikki was found stabbed to death in her bathtub. The smell of blood hit officers the second they opened the door. Nikki’s boyfriend was cleared, but all eyes quickly turned to the twins — especially after investigators discovered bite marks on the girls, proof of a violent struggle with their mother.
Locals who knew the family weren’t entirely surprised. “I was hoping not,” one of Nikki’s coworkers said, “but after everything she went through, you almost knew it was them.”
At first, the girls tried to act innocent, claiming they had simply found their mother dead. But the evidence stacked up, and in 2014, both sisters admitted their role in the killing. Each was handed a 30-year prison sentence — Jasmiyah sent to Pulaski State Prison, and Tasmiyah to Arrendale.
What makes this case unforgettable is the chilling contrast: two beautiful, identical honor students who seemed destined for success, but instead became forever remembered as the “twin teen killers.”
