A Florida woman is being held without bond after she was accused of stabbing her teenage sister, who caught the older sibling looking through her phone.
Lynn My Le, 26, appeared in court on Monday and was told she would be held at the Turner Guilford Knight Correctional Center without bond after being charged with attempted murder. Le was arrested on Sunday after police responded to her family’s home in Cutler Bay, Florida. According to an arrest report reviewed by Law&Crime, a 15-year-old girl had suffered at least 10 stab wounds, allegedly at the hands of Le, her older sister.
The teenager told police that Le stabbed her after the teenager woke up to find Le going through the younger girl’s phone.

According to the arrest report, the teenager was sleeping in the home’s living room when she caught Le going through her phone. The teen grabbed her cellphone from Le and asked her why she was looking through it. Instead of explaining, Le allegedly fetched a black knife.
Police said that the teen ran toward the front door to escape, but Le caught up to her and allegedly stabbed her in the back with the knife four times. After the teen collapsed to the floor, Le’s alleged attack continued with at least six more strikes with the knife. The teen “pleaded for her life,” and Le stopped, leaving her younger sister bleeding on the ground.
WPLG, a local, independent news station, reported that the teen was brought to the hospital in critical condition. Le, police noted, “refused to speak to detectives” and was arrested.
Le was charged with one count of attempted murder and is being held without bond. Her arraignment is scheduled for Nov. 17.
