Sabrina Clement Was Stabbed By Her Brother While Parents Were Away

On the night of May 22, 2009, Clement was left home alone with her two brothers including Keith Randulich at their home in Mokena, Illinois.

Sabrina was taken to the home’s basement and brutally killed Randulich. He had no remorse for cutting the throat of his half-sister, who cried out to her brother, “Why are you killing me?”

The police had found numerous stab wounds on her neck. Upon arrest, Randulich had confessed to killing his sister with a steak knife.

The investigators found many disturbing things inside the basement. They discovered horror films, death-metal music, and a rubber clown mask.

Upon his arrest, Keith Randulich had stated to the police that he killed his sister to protect her from her abusers. However, there was no evidence found that Sabrina was abused.
