The sister of a Northern Kentucky woman accused of killing and dismembering her mother’s body filed a restraining order against her brother, claiming he incited her sister to the acts, court records show .
Telby Fields filed a petition for an emergency protective order in Robertson County District Court on October 11, asking for legal action to keep her brother, Truitt Fields, away from her because of the threats of violence he has made against her throughout her life expressed. The court granted the injunction, court records show.
The handwritten petition claims that her sister, Torilena Fields, slaughtered her mother, Trudy Fields, “under his advice.” Telby accuses her brother in the petition of threatening to kill several people in her family, including herself, her sister and her mother. Truitt told her he would claim his “birthright as firstborn” by carrying out the threats, court records say.
At the bottom of one of the archived pages, Telby wrote, “When my body was found… Truitt Fields killed me.”
A domestic and interpersonal violence hearing is scheduled for Tuesday, according to court records. In the meantime, Truitt is not allowed to approach Telby and is not allowed to attend her mother’s “future funeral.”
Torilena was charged on October 14 with murder and abuse of a corpse, among other charges, after Kentucky State Police officers arrested her at her mother Trudy’s home the week before. Officers found body parts scattered throughout the property, including some cooked in a steel pot in the kitchen oven, according to an arrest warrant.
While Torilena is charged in court with her mother’s murder, officials are still awaiting identification results from the Office of the Medical Examiner in Frankfort to determine if the body was her mother’s, KSP spokesman David Jones said.
Torilena is being held at the Bourbon County Detention Center. She is scheduled to appear in Robertson County Circuit Court for arraignment on Nov. 12, according to court records.
