Ohio Teen Charged For Giving Boyfriend 5 Hours To Kill His Mom, Finishes Job Off Herself

An Ohio teen has been charged with murder after she allegedly gave her boyfriend an ultimatum to kill his own mother before taking matters into her own hands.
17-year-old Kaitlyn Coones is being tried as an adult over the murder of 53-year-old Nicole Jones.
Police say the teen killed Jones back in April, days after she fled her foster home to live with her 33-year-old boyfriend, Jonathan Jones.
“Kaitlyn had told Jonathan that they needed to do something about his mother because she was preventing them from being together, and she gave him five hours to do something about her,” said Detective Jake Albright of the Sylvania Township Police Department.
Once Jones’ five hours were up, Coones took matters into her own hands.
“She went outside, retrieved a rock and when Nicole Jones was standing in front of the refrigerator in the kitchen, unaware of Kaitlyn’s presence, bludgeoned Nicole Jones a number of times and strangled her,” Prosecutor Andy Lastra said in court Friday.
Coones has been charged with aggravated murder, abuse of a corpse and tampering with evidence.
Investigators said after the killing, the two took Jones’ mothers body and threw it into a dumpster, which was then taken to a landfill. Police don’t think they’ll ever be able to find her body.
The pair then fled to Mexico where they were later arrested.
Jones has previously been convicted for his relationship with Coones. The pair started dating when she was 15 and Jones was wearing an ankle monitor. He forgot to disarm it which helped police create a timeline of the murder.
Coones’ defense attorneys argue she was a victim of Jones and he was not supposed to be in contact with her. Jones is also facing charges in his mothers death and is being held on a $1.125 million bond.

What specific resources and support are needed to ensure a safe and stable environment for teens transitioning out of foster care
Found on the day of the murder. However, prosecutors have presented evidence that suggests otherwise.
The trial is set to begin next month, and if convicted, Coones could face life in prison without the possibility of parole.
This tragic case highlights the dangers of toxic relationships and the devastating consequences they can have. It is a reminder of the importance of early intervention and support for young people involved in abusive relationships.
Furthermore, it brings attention to the issue of foster care and the challenges faced by teens transitioning out of the system. It is clear that more resources and support are needed to ensure that these vulnerable individuals are provided with a safe and stable environment.
In addition, the case raises questions about the justice system and how it handles cases involving minors charged with serious crimes. Should teenagers be tried as adults in such cases, or is there a need for a separate judicial process that takes into account their age and circumstances?
Overall, this tragedy serves as a wake-up call for society to address the underlying issues that contribute to such devastating incidents. It is a call to action for communities, policy makers, and individuals to work together to create a safer and more nurturing environment for our youth.
As we await the trial and sentencing, our hearts go out to the family and friends of Nicole Jones, who have undoubtedly been deeply affected by this senseless act of violence.
May this tragedy inspire us to strive for a society where young people are protected, supported, and given the opportunity to flourish.
