Mother and daughter charged after 71-year-old grandmother allegedly killed at home

A mother and daughter are in custody in Maryland and facing charges for the alleged murder of a 71-year-old woman inside their family home, authorities said. 

Candace Craig, 44, and her daughter Salia Hardy, 19, are accused of killing Margaret Craig — who is Candace Craig's mother and Salia Hardy's grandmother — at their house in Landover, near Washington, D.C., according to the Prince George's County Police Department.

Officers searched the home last Friday after receiving a 911 call from an unidentified person who shared concern for Margaret Craig's welfare, saying they had not heard from her in several days, the police department said in a news release. When they arrived at the property at around 1:30 p.m. local time, Candace Craig answered the door and allowed the officers inside to search for her mother, CBS affiliate WUSA9 reported, citing the police department.
