'I love you': The last words from grandmother as grandson 'stabbed her to death in the bath because she made him come home early from party'

The last thing a dying Florida grandmother said to the 23-year-old grandson who stabbed her was 'I love you'.



Police say Christopher Chase Whaley of Lake Wales stabbed his grandmother Barbara Denmark more than 25 times after a heated argument.



Whaley, who had lived with his grandmother for five years, was charged with first degree murder for slashing Denmark in the tub.

Victim: Babara Denmark, 69, told her grandson she loved him, moments after he stabbed her 25 times

Charged: Christopher Chase Whaley, 23, told police that his grandmother's final words moved him to spare his aunt's life

Police said Whaley confessed to the grisly crime, as well as Ms Denmark's final words.



He claimed the two had argued on Saturday at Daytona Beach before returning to the trailer they shared at the Enchanted Grove mobile home.

Whaley said he was very inebriated and could not recall what the fight was about, according to Tampa Bay Online.

When he walked into the door of their home, the 23-year old said he went to the kitchen, grabbed two knifes and sought out his grandmother in the bathtub.



He said he stabbed her repeatedly, a knife in each hand.



Tragic: The two had been fighting inside Ms Denmark's mobile home, where she and Whaley lived for the past five years

'Chris is angry because he's been forced to come home and couldn't stay with his new best friends and party so he decides, 'I'll just kill grandmother. Not only her but I'll kill my aunt,'' said Polk County Sheriff Grady Judd to Tampa Bay Online.



After hearing his sweet grandmother's last words, he decided against killing his aunt and called 911.



'Come get me,' he said to the dispatcher, according to police reports.



Emergency responders found Whaley inside the mobile home, leaning over his grandmother and cradling her head.



'The family is distraught in all ways that can be imagined,' David Alexander, Ms Denmark's nephew, said.



He called her death a 'tragedy.'



'Her whole life was children - she always took care of them, no matter what,' Mr Alexander said.
