The spine-chilling real-life murder story involving Jasmiyah and Tasmiyah Whitehead goes back to January 2010. Jasmiyah and Tasmiyah are identical twin sisters who used to live in Conyers City, Georgia with their single biological mother, Jarmecca Yvonne Whitehead, known to her loved ones as Nikki Whitehead.

Initially, the twins were raised by Della Frazier, their great-grandmother. However, when they were 13 years of age, in 2007, their mother Nikki got custody of them. Reportedly, after having several verbal and physical fights, the custody of the twins went back to their great-grandmother.

However, on January 5, 2010, custody was regained by Nikki, just over a week before her horrifying demise. Reportedly, on January 13, 2010, Jasmiyah and Tasmiyah Whitehead brutally beat and stabbed their mother Nikki to death in their Conyers City home.

According to police reports, Nikki struggled for several minutes before finally giving up her precious life. Nikki was only 34 years of age at the time, while the twin sisters were 16 years old when the heart-wrenching incident took place.

Initially, the twin sisters denied any involvement in their biological mother's brutal death. They said that they returned home from school only to see their mother lying dead, drenched in blood, in the bathtub.

However, there was plenty of evidence, such as their mother's bite marks on their hands as a sign of struggle, showing that the twins were lying and trying to cover up their heinous crime.

Later on, almost 4 months after the inhuman murder of Nikki Whitehead, the twins were charged and arrested for committing the murder of their mother.

In February 2014, Jasmiyah also pleaded guilty to the murder and the other two as well. She also received a sentence of 30 years of prison time. Jasmiyah is currently serving that sentence at Pulaski State Prison.
