Schoolboy Kills 8 & 9-Year-Olds for $1

schoolboy-knife-murderer.jpg

A 14-year-old schoolboy slew two elementary schoolers, aged 8 and 9, in order to fund his purchase of a music player.

He retrieved 6 yuan (less than a dollar) from one of the slain boys.

The boy apparently targeted the pair as they were traveling to school, and attacked them with a blade, killing both; all they were carrying was 6 yuan, which he took.

Soon after the parents of the murdered boys reported the matter to police, who then arrested the culprit for murder and robbery.

It is not clear whether he was able to afford his MP3 player with the money stolen.

    It's sad that stuff like this happens, but it's unavoidable. I can't begin to imagine the feelings of the parents, friends, and other children who think they are safe. No doubt many will be traumatized and fear their surroundings more because of this. Society as a whole really needs to take a good look at itself and at least try to figure out how it can prevent more crimes like these from happening. May their organs go to deserving people.

    No one is acting out their life ambition, networking, boycoting, morality, or their own talents in order to further future generations anymore. Life is full selfish people who say the world is a place that is fucked up, but they don't take any action for fear deep with in their own hearts for a negative change that "could indeed happen." But in my mind and body I believe only those willing enough to shed their own blood for others must take action even if the burden of sin rests upon ones own sholders and blood stains vibrant on their hands. Take up agressive action draw your souls sword and defend the generation to come only then will things change.

    lol this is SO much better than the U.S. method of dealing with people.

    ya.... china spends... 10 cents for every person that violates a major crime...

    and.... U.S. spends over 100k on prisoners waiting to be executed and over millions of dollars on life time sentences...

    very nice.... they get to rot in jail for the rest of their life and do nothing except suck up more money and resources from our tax dollars...

    if we executed all of the life time sentence criminals... we would save billions of millions of dollars... that can be put to better use than feeding criminals....

    If only we could trust the justice system in America to put actual criminals in jail. The police contaminate evidence too often, if not outright fabricate it. The prosecutors play very dirty in court, and public defenders are a joke. Only way you can prove your innocence is to prove you were out of town when it was committed. DNA evidence is absolving people in life sentences so often that it makes you wonder if we put anyone that "deserves it" in jail at all.

    The boy was clearly a psychopath. It is a good thing he is caught early before he is an adult and smart enough to not get caught, but it is a pity two people have already died.

    yeah, but braille doesn't help mental blindness, or ignorance. No one is born with the brain to do stuff like that. An eye for an eye is for the lazy man, and it wouldn't be as fulfilling as learning from the problem and rectifying to stop or lessen the chances of future incarnations that would otherwise be inevitable. I don't mean to be a downer, but history proves there will undoubtedly be more kids like this and more deaths like this in the future. In fact, the bar seems to get lower with each story like this I read here.

    There are also a number of cases where people who are savagely abused as you put it do not do something like shank children for an iPod.

    It would be one thing if he killed to survive, but he did it for a music player. And again, children. He deserves whatever he gets, even if he is mentally insane, China at large doesn't have the capacity nor the competency to accommodate his crazy ass.

    Your assuming that the murders all stemmed from his greed in wanting an mp3 player. Dig deeper and you'll probably find many other issues, be it abuse or some genetic disorder. Not to say that I sympathize but motive has little to do with his mental stability or capacity.

    They're communists, therefore they don't BELIEVE that every living being is important. Of course, we do a pretty shitty job of it in the capitalist West, as well. The only difference is that here it's employers treating people like disposable resources instead of the government doing it directly.

    Doesn't communism mean everything and everyone are "equal" thus people have share everything "equally"? You people got to read more books before posting something stupid like that (blaming "everything" on communism is a propaganda, there are things that are caused by communism, but this is not one of them. If something can happen in the West too, then it's obvious it got nothing to do with Communism or education system. I am sure you will find cases like these in the States too) Honestly, if you blame everything on Communism or a country's system, then you are just stupid (lack of logic, education, and sense)

    That boy obvious had some shocking trouble recently (maybe such as being bullied, parents not doing their job right, extreme peer pressure), thus decided on killing them for the money. It can also mean his moral part of his brian (I forgot what's it called) is smaller than normal, thus having difficulty understanding morals.

    It's obviously a case of mental disorder, nothing to do with teaching or morals. I am putting my money on the "some recent shocking trouble" event which caused this case.
