A 13-year-old teenager murdered her 5-year-old brother and sent a message to her mother in which she said: “I killed him.”
The mother of the confessed murderer had sought treatment for the young woman since November 2021 and obtained an appointment 4 months later, following telling her case in the media, “but I was never able to get the doctor’s private number,” reported the
medium TN.
On September 19, in the province of Santa Fe, in
Argentina,
The teenager was with her little brother at home while her mother took classes at an adult school.
Suddenly he received a message on his cell phone that said: “Mom, I killed him.” The woman immediately contacted her husband, father of the murdered child, who upon arriving home found the little boy dead and next to him, in a chair, the teenager.
According to the autopsy report, the
niño
He had 11 stab wounds to the back and neck.
The adolescent committed the crime in the midst of an “impulsive crisis” as a result of a “possible existence of an underlying mental disorder in the psychic structure,” detailed the Provincial Directorate of Mental Health and the Provincial Directorate for the Promotion of Children’s Rights, Adolescence and Family.
She was transferred to a health center to establish if there is a possible “disorder in her mental health.” The minor would not be charged for the homicide because, according to Argentine law, she “is not capable of understanding the crime she committed or its consequences.”
