ST. PETERS, Mo. (KMOV.com) -- A St. Charles County woman is charged with murder after investigators say she confessed to killing her daughter before slicing her own throat with a knife. 

On Friday, May 14, Donna Scuderi was in her home in the 200 block of Jody Drive along with her 39-year-old daughter. Her husband, the 39-year-old's father, came home from work and went to the basement to workout, unaware the two were upstairs in the home. 

When he finished, he went to the home's top floor and discovered his daughter in an upstairs bedroom with a plastic bag wrapped around her head. He found his wife in a nearby bathroom unconscious and bleeding. He immediately called 911.
