In a case that has left even seasoned investigators stunned, a 12-year-old boy has been arrested for the brutal stabbing of a 9-year-old — and his motive is as disturbing as the crime itself.

When questioned by police, the boy reportedly said:
“I wanted to die. I thought if I killed someone, they’d give me the death penalty.”

The incident took place in a quiet suburban neighborhood, sending shockwaves through the community. The victim, a 9-year-old classmate, was found with multiple stab wounds. Despite attempts to revive him, he was pronounced dead at the scene.

Authorities say the suspect showed no remorse — only a warped understanding of justice and death.

Mental health experts are now calling the case a severe psychological crisis — and are questioning how a child so young could reach such a dark place.

The boy is now in juvenile custody, and the legal system is grappling with how to handle a case this extreme.
