6 Horrific Murders Committed By Kids by Tolu1034(m): 2:02pm On Nov 08, 2016
1.Carl Newton Mahan – 6 years old It’s hard to imagine a 6 year old capable of murder, but on May 18, 1929 Carl and his friend Cecil Van Hoose, 8 years old, were collecting scrap metal to sell for some extra money. Cecil stole Carl’s scrap from him, hitting him in face with it. If that were the end of things, it would sound like kids being kids. But that wasn’t the end of things and Carl decided to get revenge. Unlike most kids, he didn’t hit Cecil back or run to tell his parents; instead, he ran home and grabbed his father’s 12 gauge shotgun. He ran all the way back to Cecil and told him, “I’m going to shoot you,” – before shooting the other boy. Cecil died. At the time, Carl was the youngest person to be tried for murder, which complicated the entire case. People couldn’t agree on whether a 6-year old is capable of murder. During the trial, the boy was often seen taking naps on the defense table like many kids would during a long, boring class, and didn’t seem to really care that he was on trial for his life. But after just 30 minutes of deliberation, the jury decided to convict the little boy of the lesser charge of manslaughter, sending him away to reform school for 15 years. But a circuit judge later issued a “writ of prohibition” that kept the boy from being sent away – because it was against procedure to put a child of his age on trial in front of a jury. Carl was sent home.
2.Jordan Brown – 11 years old Though the motive behind this killing is still unknown, jealousy seems to be the most common theory as to why young Jordan Brown would fatally shoot his father’s pregnant girlfriend in 2009. The victim was shot in the back of the head while she was lying in bed, and she was discovered after her 4-year old daughter alerted tree cutters nearby that her mother could be dead. Jordan had already gone to school that day, acting as if nothing had happened. Kenzie Houk, the victim, had experienced problems with the boy in the past, and a relative said that he’d talked about killing her before it actually happened. The weapon used was a youth model 20-gauge shotgun that he had been given as a birthday present. Brown was initially charged as an adult as required by Pennsylvania law, but his lawyers appealed to the state’s Superior Court to reconsider his adult status. The case was ultimately moved to juvenile court.
3. Cindy Collier and Shirley Wolf – 15 and 14 years old, respectively. Teenagers can be trouble, especially when they’re with other teens. But all the drinking and practical jokes in the world can’t compare to the trouble caused by two teenage girls in California in 1983. While many young girls keep a diary, very few write about how much fun it was to kill someone – as Shirley Wolf did in hers. Shirley and Cindy Collier became friends when Cindy was visiting a friend in a Sacramento group home. Because of commonalities and shared experiences like violent home lives, as well as molestation at the hands of their parents and relatives, the girls hit it off right away. Both girls carried so much pent up anger within them, it caused them to do the unthinkable. The same afternoon that the girls met, they randomly knocked on the doors of a condominium complex, asking to use the phone or for a glass of water. It alarmed many of the seniors living in the complex, and several locked their doors and windows once the girls left. However, one woman, Anna Brackett, 85, let the two girls in and chatted with them for nearly an hour. Shirley is quoted as saying, “We decided we were going to kill her when we saw her.” When Mrs. Brackett was distracted by a phone call, Shirley grabbed her by the throat and knocked her to the floor. Cindy threw her a butcher’s knife from the kitchen and Shirley stabbed her over and over again as the woman begged her to stop. When Brackett told the girl she was dying as she lay there bleeding to death, Shirley merely responded by saying, “Good.”
4. Amarjeet Sada – 8 years old It’s bad enough when a child accidentally kills one person. But when they kill multiple times on purpose, it makes the crime an incredibly difficult pill to swallow. And when you consider the fact that little Amarjeet’s parents knew of his murderous ways and covered up not one but two deaths, it takes this case to a whole different level. Amarjeet Sada was eight years old when he was arrested in India in June 2007. He stands accused of killing three babies – two of whom were related to him. The first victim was his six-month old cousin, who he’s accused of strangling to death. His second victim, also a cousin under a year old, had been bludgeoned to death. Both of these were covered up by the family, and Amarjeet may have gotten away with his crimes had he not been suspected in killing a neighbor’s six-month old daughter as well.
5. Michael Hernandez – 14 years old What would compel a young man to kill his own best friend? We may never know. Michael Hernandez appeared to be normal and polite, but something darker lurked inside the teenager’s mind. The young man convinced a friend of his, Jaime Rodrigo Gough – also 14 years old – to follow him into a bathroom stall at their school. He said he wanted to show him something. But instead, once inside the stall, Michael stabbed his friend several times and then slit his throat. Another boy entered the bathroom after the killing and saw Michael washing his hands, saw the bloody stall – so he notified a security guard. When they came back, Michael was nowhere to be found. He’d slipped out and went back to class, despite the blood stains on his clothing. When police looked into his life, they discovered a kid obsessed with violence. He even had a journal in which he’d outlined his plans to commit murder. In his notebook, they found a list of three people he wanted to kill as a birthday celebration to himself. Along with Gough, Michael had also planned to kill his older sister and another long-time friend. His plan had been to kill his two friends and prop their corpses up on toilets. He even made notes for himself in the journal, reminding himself to be quick, to remove all the blood and to make sure they were really dead. 6. Graham Young – 14 years old Like many parents do, Graham Young’s father thought he was helping encourage his son intellectually, by investing in a chemistry set for the young lad. Little did he know, his son would turn his fascination with chemistry into something far more sinister – and that it would later result in the death of his own stepmother. By the time Graham Young – born 1947 – was 13, his knowledge of chemicals and science was on par with post-graduate students; all of it self taught. Graham Young was obsessed with reading about chemicals, often reciting the ingredients in the headache medicine his family took. He’d also often steal nail varnish and other household chemicals to experiment with. While other kids his age probably idolized musicians or movie stars, Young’s idol was a poisoner named Dr. Crippen. Over time, Young’s experiments went from studying nail varnish to testing out several poisons on his own family – at times even accidentally ingesting some of them himself. Because of the poison, it seemed like a virus had spread through his family, infecting one person after the next. Eventually, his stepmother would die from the poisons – she’d become tolerant to antimony, so he switched over to a heavy metal called thallium to speed up her death. Because her body was cremated (at Young’s suggestion ironically enough), there was never any direct evidence that he killed her, so he wasn’t convicted of her murder. He was, however, convicted of poisoning his other family members, which earned him a trip to a maximum-security hospital. Within weeks of his arrival, Young had poisoned one of his fellow inmates with cyanide. Young claimed he could extract the cyanide from laurel bush leaves, but the officials didn’t buy it and thus marked the inmate’s death as a suicide. Eventually, Young was released from the hospital – and upon his release at the age of 23, promised to kill one person for every day he’d spent in prison. After his release, he managed to poison a few more people before being caught and convicted of two counts of murder, two counts of attempted murder, and two counts of administering poison. He received four life sentences, and died in prison in 1990. Some are convinced that he poisoned himself. They say that he grew tired of prison life and deciding to go out on his own terms. But before he died, he was proud to see a wax figure of himself made and situated next to the of Horrors
