Canada: Teen girls accused of attempted murder

Story here. Excerpt:

'Two teenaged girls tried to kill a 14-year-old guest at a house party in the North End by beating and stabbing her repeatedly, Winnipeg police said on Wednesday.

Officers said at around 11:30 p.m. CT last Saturday, a 13-year-old confronted the victim and physically assaulted her in a dispute where the victim was accused of talking behind the other girl's back.

When she fell to the ground, three other girls – aged 13, 14, and 16 – allegedly jumped in and also began assaulting her.

Police said the violence escalated to the point that the teen victim was beaten with a weight used for weightlifting.

She was then stabbed all over her body by one of the suspects using a knife obtained from the home's kitchen, police said.'
