A mother and daughter, charged with murder in the death of an 85-year-old, have been granted bond in Columbia County.
According to jail records, Deborah Yvonne Hill and Brittany Michelle Hurst were both given bond on the murder and cruelty charges.
Investigators responded to a house on Locks Hill in Martinez back in Augusta to investigate the death of an elderly female. When they arrived, they found Blanche Carpenter had died in the care of Hill and Hurst. Investigators determined the death was suspicious. Autopsy results said Carpenter had been dead for two days. They say she had not been provided food or water for days or even weeks.
In addition to Carpenter, there were three children as well as Hill’s husband and grandmother in the home. Hill’s husband was relocated and placed under the supervision of Adult Protective Services. Her grandmother was taken to the hospital.
Hill was subsequently charged with murder, cruelty to children and two counts of cruelty to persons over 65. Hurst was charged with murder and two counts of cruelty to persons over 65.
