13-year-old Pennsylvania boy being charged as an adult after taking the life of a 10-year-old at a "best friend" sleepover.
13-year-old James Campbell is in custody and is going to be tried as an adult in connection to the death of 10-year-old Hunter Meyers.
According to reports the 2 were having a sleep over at Campbell's home Wednesday night. The next morning 911 operators received an alarming call. As officers arrived at the home in Donegal Township, Pennsylvania, they were stunned by the scene they were met with.
Little Hunter Meyers was found deceased in an upstairs bedroom having suffered multiple puncture wounds in the head. The weapon (a knife) used in the attack was found next to him. As police began to investigate the death, they found James Campbell with evidence on his shoes and pants as well as cuts on his hands.
Hunter's mother, Dorothy, says the boys were "cousins and best friends" and that she was completely blindsided by the senseless homicide. At this point there seems to be no clear motive in the attack.
James Campbell is being charged with first degree murder and has been denied bond. He is being tried as an adult which is something Dorothy has pushed for even as she asks for compassion for James and his family. She is quoted as saying "My son was asleep and never had a chance to react or be scared".
This is a truly heartbreaking story and our thoughts are with the families and friends of everyone affected by this crime.
