BRADFORD COUNTY, Fla. — A woman is facing a murder charge after deputies say she is accused of fatally stabbing her younger sister in Bradford County.
Amanda Godwin, 35, was arrested for first-degree murder on Sunday morning.
The Bradford County Sheriff’s Office received a call about a stabbing in the Northeast part of the county around 1:17 a.m.
Upon arrival, deputies found a 31-year-old woman in the driveway with a stab wound.
Bradford County Emergency Medical Services responded to the scene and pronounced the victim deceased.
While deputies were investigating the scene, they found a knife near the victim's body.
The victim's wife identified her as Rachel in a GoFundMe campaign to raise funds for funeral costs.
"My wife Rachel was previously taken away from us suddenly and did not have life insurance," the campaign says. "Our hearts are so broken. My little family is hurting so much and nothing will ever be the same ... (Rachel) truly was a good person inside and out through her flaws and all she still tried to shine through."
The fundraiser description says the family is not sure when the victim's arrangements will be, but that updates would be shared online and that her memorial will be "open to the public."
Bradford County Detectives are continuing to investigate the stabbing at this time.
Godwin is currently being held without bond at the Bradford County Jail.
She has a first appearance scheduled for Monday morning.
