BLONDE KILLED HER MUM & GRAN FOR CASH

A WOMAN has been charged with MURDER after BEATING her mother and grandmother to DEATH.

Heather Barbera, 42, is accused of beating the two family relatives to death with a nightstick before going on the run for four days.

After killing her 67-year-old mother Michelle Gordon and her 87-year-old grandmother Elaine Rosen, Barbera stole their cash and credit cards and headed to New York City.

He said his niece has long been struggling with emotional problems and he also suspected that the mother-of-two is addicted to prescription pills.
