Woman accused of killing landlady and putting her in freezer claims she's framed
The tenant accused of murdering her landlady before cutting her up and stuffing the body parts in a freezer claims she was set up, her lawyers have said.
Tenant Sand Kolalou is facing charges of first-degree murder and concealment of a homicide related to the death of her landlady, 69-year-old Frances Walker, in Chicago, Illinois, US.
In a court filing, her attorney has claimed she may have been framed for the murder by another tenant in the building and new evidence contradicts prosecutor's allegations.
When she died, Walker was in the process of evicting Kolalou over complaints of frightening behaviour from neighbours.
The killing came a day after Walker had put an eviction notice on Kolalou's door with the prosecutor suggesting the two had been seen arguing.

Frances Walker, 69, who Sandra Kolalou allegedly murdered and dismembered with a butcher's knifeThe suspect's lawyer Sean Brown says that was impossible because Kolalou was seen on CCTV at a birthday party at the time the argument allegedly took place.
Family say police had been called out five times to the address in relation to Kolalou but left each time due to a lack of evidence of a crime.
On the night of Kolalou's arrest police had been called by concerned neighbours who heard screaming coming from the house.
When they arrived Kolalou was getting into a hired tow truck.
She declined to speak of officers and ordered the tow truck driver to drive to the beach where she is accused of dumping a large plastic bag containing bloody rags in a bin.
The suspect allegedly threatened the tow truck driver with a knife but Brown said the tow truck driver told reporters that "he did not see a knife and assumed she had a knife because he was fearful after receiving information from the tenants and the police that she had possibly harmed Walker."
The 69-year-old's body was later found in a freezer and the suspect arrested.
Kolalou, who is also suspected of killing Walker's dog, was charged with first degree murder and concealment of a homicide.

She allegedly sung: "I'm a doctor, I can kill you. I'm a doctor, I can help you."
When she died, Walker was in the process of evicting Kolalou over complaints of frightening behaviour from neighbours.
