SHAKOPEE, Minn – A Scott County woman is charged with the second-degree murder of her mother in their New Market Township home.
Court documents allege that 33-year-old Cassandra Dusold choked her 60-year-old mother last Wednesday. The victim was taken to a Burnsville hospital in critical condition and died Saturday.
The criminal complaint says Dusold initially told investigators that she heard a thud and found her mother unresponsive in another room. She later admitted to putting her arms around her mother’s neck and “squeezing like a python.”
