A teenage girl was stabbed to death at her friend's house - because he allegedly wanted to hurt someone after smoking synthetic marijuana.Jasmyn Tully, 17, was found at the apartment in Tukwila, Washington, early Saturday, unconscious and bleeding from stab wounds.
A 17-year-old youth arrested in the stabbing has been ordered held in detention for investigation of second-degree murder.
The young man told police he had 'felt an urge to hurt someone'.
The Seattle Times says an uncle reports that the young man, whose name has not been released, had smoked synthetic marijuana, known by its street name, Spice.
Rage has been considered a side-effect of the drug, which is sold at smoke shops in the area.
Investigators say the 17-year-old suspect was staying in the apartment at the 11600 block of 42nd Avenue South in Tukwila when he stabbed Jasmyn.
Police say they found the suspect wandering the streets nearby with a gash in his arm, claiming he had been stabbed but chased his attacker away.
The suspect appeared in juvenile court, his wrist bandaged from a self-inflicted wound, on Monday afternoon, where the families were both present. Read More

I knew this child,Kolby killed her but society marked her for that death several years ago.She did the drugs,drank at an early age ,dropped out of school.Left to run the street and no outreach in place to mentor her or her friends.In Burien there are growing numbers of these lost children.They haunt the parks,fast food places looking to grow up fast as products of early forced adulthood and unprotected childhood.Safety in numbers that prey on each other...Yet she jumped rope at seven with friends,by 13 she was a cynical,worn out woman no longer young.Where and who failed to supervise these young people? Why were they using the drug that had been banned? Another loss to the human race,potential killed prior to physical death,shame on us all! we feed our kids media over love,sexuality over empowerment of their minds.
Hey Anonymous,
You can put whatever "spin" on it you want.. Kolby killed her!
To Anonymous who commented on the 21st- I am her father and if you knew her then you would also know that she was getting a great deal of help and support. She completed a drug treatment program, was being randomly drug tested (tested clean) and was seeing a counselor. What qualifies you to state she was cynical or no longer young. She was an intelligent, loving young girl who fully admitted that she had made mistakes but wanted to change her life. I loved her with all my heart. Next time keep your bitter thoughts to yourself.
Amen Dad.
I am his mother. Its a horrible horrible situation. If you have nothing intelligent to say or remotely respectful keep your thoughts to yourself. Why would you be so cruel? Shame on you.
