Teen reportedly kills, dismembers two 5-year-old girls

A 16-year-old boy in central China’s Henan Province killed two 5-year-old girls, dismembered them and set their skeletons on fire, the Dahe Daily reported today.

The suspect surnamed Lu admitted his guilt and was detained, police said.

Two 5-year-old girls went missing on Saturday after they attended a wedding feast at noon in Lugou Village in Xuedian Town, Jia County in Henan. Police found the partially burned skeletons in a porcelain pot for storing grain at Lu’s home on Sunday. The girls’ parents identified their clothing and confirmed it was their daughters.

Lu had quit school and lived with his father and grandmother. His mother had left home with emotional problems, police said, adding that Lu’s motive was under investigation.
