A 15-year-old Detroit girl has been arrested and charged as an adult after stabbing her brother in their home. She also attempting to kill the rest of her family, while her boyfriend gave her instructions. Roksana Sikorski was arraigned on Oct. 23, but did not enter a plea.

“Bluntly, it is rare for this office to charge a 15-year-old as an adult,” Wayne County prosecutor Kym Worthy said. “However, the alleged facts in his case strongly warrant this decision.”
Sikorski’s attorney Leslie Posner said the teen had no prior criminal record and should not have been charged as an adult. Posner said the teen moved out the family home and in with Rivera in August. “She was a normal, decent kid but she started displaying some personality disorders,” the attorney said.
Rivera is charged with four counts of conspiracy to commit murder, one count of assault with intent to commit murder, and one count of felonious assault. The couple is being held with a $1 million bond each. Rivera also did not enter a plea at his arraignment.
