They say kids do the craziest things, but what this 10-year-old boy did will blow your mind.
A 10-year-old boy from Pennsylvania has been charged as an adult after beating a 90-year-old woman to death, according toNew York Daily News.
10-year-old Tristen Kurilla, of Damascus Township, was visiting his grandpa Anthony Virbitsky on Saturday during the gruesome murder, according to local news stations.
“I killed that lady,” he reportedly told a trooper at the state police barracks.
Tristen Kurilla said that at approximately 10 am he asked the 90-year-old woman Helen Novak, a woman in his grandfather’s care, if he could speak with his grandpa. After he politely asked the woman to speak to his grandfather, she screamed at him to get out as soon as he walked into her room, according to the child.
Tristen Kurilla allegedly told the 90-year-old woman, “I’m going to curse you back to the fiery hell you came from, you little old witch.”
Shortly after this occurred, he grabbed a wooden cane and came back into the room where 90-year-old Helen Novak was sitting upright in her bed, according to The Scranton Times-Tribune.
“I was only trying to hurt her,” he allegedly told police.
Investigators say Tristen Kurilla hooked the cane around her neck and shoved it into her throat for five seconds before striking her five times in the throat and five times in the abdomen, the local newspaper stated.
The boy informed his grandpa that the woman was bleeding for her mouth, according to authorities.
His grandpa said the woman was ‘breathing heavy and look terrified” about 10:30 am and became unresponsive around 11 am, police said.
An autopsy on Monday confirmed that her death was a homicide, according to WNEP.
The suspect is currently being jailed at Wayne County Correctional Facility on no bond.
