This is truly unbelievable.
A group of 5th grade girls plotted to murder a boy and make it look like a suicide.
According to a newly released police report, four 5th grade girls at the Legacy Traditional School in Surprise, Arizona, came up with a plan to fatally stab a boy in the bathroom and make it look like he took his own life by forging a suicide letter.
One of the girls was in a ‘relationship’ with the victim and wanted him dead after he ‘cheated’ on her.
The four girls reportedly got together during lunch in October 2024 and plotted to “end” the victim.
The girls planned to lure the boy into the bathroom at school, one would act as lookout, one would write the suicide note and another would stab the victim in the stomach.
The four girls even discussed how they would wear gloves so they wouldn’t leave fingerprints behind.
The police report said a parent contacted the school and alerted them to the murder plot after a student overheard the girls discussing their plans.
Three of the girls and their families apparently showed remorse and apologized during their police interview. The fourth student allegedly laughed during the police interview and her parent appeared unfazed over the murder plot.
“The four students — two 10 year olds and two 11 year olds — were all arrested on one count of threatening and another count of disorderly conduct, per the report. The students were released into the custody of their parents and suspended, pending expulsion,” NBC News reported.
