A Bronx woman beat her mother to death with a cooking pot then called 911 to eerily confess to the brutal killing, sources and shocked family members said.


Skydajah Patterson, 26, had recently been released from a mental health treatment facility when she allegedly bludgeoned 46-year-old Selma Mclean inside their apartment in NYCHA’s President Adams Houses in the Bronx on Monday at 3:40 a.m., cops and sources said.


She then told an emergency operator “I just killed my mom” as authorities were called to the apartment where they later found Mclean unconscious and unresponsive with trauma to her face and head, sources said.

When cops responded to the third-floor unit, the younger woman was allegedly found still clutching the blood-covered pot, sources said.




She allegedly admitted to using the kitchen ware to hit her mother on the back of her head, knocking her unconscious, the sources said.







The older woman was pronounced dead at the scene, cops said.


Her daughter was taken into custody, but did not face any charges by the late afternoon, cops said.

Mclean’s goddaughter Danaeyah Reynolds, 26, told The Post that her godmother had been texting her shortly before the brutal murder – saying that she was afraid of Skydajah, who had just recently been released from a psych ward.


“She was in a psych ward in February until last week,” Reynolds said. “She started hearing voices and started speaking in a man’s voice last night. My godmother said she was afraid. Jamilla said she was scared because Skydajah was saying that the voices in her head were telling her that [my godmother] was dangerous.


“When I got here I looked in and I could see blood on the couch,” she added. “They say it was too late to resuscitate her.


“I opened the door and just saw blood.”
