Boy, 8, on double murder charge

11 November 2008 67 views No Comment

Police say the child admitted shooting the two men with a .22-calibre rifle.

Some people in court cried as the boy appeared in handcuffs sitting restlessly next to his mother.

As hundreds of mourners turned out to see the father laid to rest, friends and neighbours disputed any suggestion that the boy might have been abused.

Police have said the child methodically planned the killings of Vincent Romero, a 29-year-old construction worker, and lodger Timothy Romans, 39, at their home in the small community of St Johns, north-east of Phoenix.
