The chilling words of a teenage girl have been revealed after she killed both her mom and her mom's boyfriend following a row over their relationship.
Julia Grace Egler, aged just 16, faces two counts of first-degree murder charges after her 38-year-old mom Kelley McCollom and her 22-year-old boyfriend Matthew Szejnrok were found dead at her home in Palm Bay, Florida.
It was Egler who reported their deaths to Palm Bay Police Department in floods of tears, but instead of handing herself in, she claimed an intruder broke into their home before executing the pair, according to the force.
The incident took place at around midnight on Sunday, July 7, and when police arrived at the home their discovered they had both been shot - something the teen never mentioned to the dispatcher during the 911 call.

According to officials, Egler told them how 'an unknown male intruder had entered the residence through a back sliding glass door'.
Adding: "Egler admitted to obtaining a .38 special revolver from [McCollom’s] bedroom, waiting for the victims to return home, and then shooting them multiple times."
They added that Egler had 'cited longstanding conflicts' with her mom over the teen's gender transition, as well as her relationship with a man 16 years her senior.

Officials reported that Szejnrok’s body was found in bathroom, and he had been shot and stabbed, meanwhile McCollom's corpse was found in the living room.
A sworn statement, otherwise known as an affidavit, read: “When they walked through the front door, [the suspect] told them ‘welcome home'."
This is when the crazed teen shot McCollom more than once, before repeatedly unloading on Szejnrok 'as he pleaded' with her to stop.

The affidavit reported how 'Egler then followed Matthew into the bathroom where he retreated and began stabbing him repeatedly', before reloading after he asked her to put him 'out of his misery' and shot him in his head.
But it was the chilling words she said to the dispatcher after killing her mom and her mom's boyfriend that was really hair-raising.
The dispatcher said: “You still have your dogs with you?” to which she replied: “They’re still in my room. I didn’t let them out because I didn’t want them getting blood all over their paws."
The shocked dispatcher then said: “Wait, did you say blood all over their paws? Is there blood inside your house?” before adding: "Whose blood is it? Do you know if anyone is hurt at your house?”

Egler then replied in floods of tears: "They're dead."
Egler, who has been named due to the circumstances of the crime, was arrested and transferred to the Juvenile Detention Center.
