Court documents paint a picture of a tempestous relationship between a Clayton County couple that apparently ended in the death of the woman's mother.

A judge denied bond Monday for Latoris Grovner, 21, one of two defendants held in the weekend murder of Alena Marble, 59.

"I just can't take it how they let my grandma die like that," said Marble's granddaughter Pamela Davis.  "How did they do that and let her suffer."

Police say Grovner confessed to beating Marble with a metal pot and glass bottle inside the woman's apartment.  Marble's daughter, Kajul Harvey, 21, also faces murder charges.  Family members say Marble's granddaughters were also home in the apartment on Mt. Zion road during the attack.

"The last words my mamma said was tell everybody I love them," said marble's dauther Yolanda after the first court appearance for her sister and her sister's boyfriend.

Detectives say Grovner also admitted to wrapping the woman's body in a blanket, placing it in the trunk of his car and parking it nearby.  An autopsy will determine if the woman died from the beating or from being locked in the trunk of a vehicle.

Court documents show the young man had previously been convicted of assaulting Harvey and that her mother had secured a temporary restraining order against him, but that Grovner repeatedly violated the order to stay away.
