Three teenage boys accused of killing a schoolmate and burying his body in an abandoned vegetable shed in north China will face criminal prosecution due to their alleged extreme ill-will, prosecutors announced.
The trio is accused of murdering a seventh-grade boy in Feixiang District, Handan City, Hebei Province, on March 10.
As the suspects are between 12 and 14 years old, their criminal accountability was approved by the Supreme People’s Procuratorate, the provincial People’s Procuratorate announced on Monday.
According to earlier police investigations, the suspects premeditated the killing and dug a pit to bury the body in the vegetable shed one day in advance.
