AFTER KILLING A 13-YEAR-OLD GIRL
First, he killed, then didn't know where to put the body.
In Bensalem (US state of Pennsylvania), police have arrested 16-year-old Joshua Cooper for first murdering a girl and then asking for help on Instagram to get rid of the body, reports news channel "CNN."
A concerned mother contacted local police after her daughter received an Instagram video chat from an acquaintance, according to a spokesperson for authorities. The 16-year-old could say he had just killed someone in the clip. He then rotated the video image to show the feet and legs of a person covered in blood. Following this, he asked if someone could help him remove the dead person.
The mother immediately realized the video was not a bad joke and called the police emergency center. Unfortunately, the police officers did not believe it was a joke either and headed to the teenager's address, a trailer park outside the city.
On the scene, they found a bloody girl's body with a gunshot wound in the bathroom of the silver camper. According to police, there were also numerous indications that someone had desperately tried to remove traces of blood from the scene. However, it could not yet be clarified who exactly the 13-year-old dead girl was, according to the police.
In one of the bedrooms of the trailer, police also found a safe with firearms and a holster in which the pistol was missing, reports The Philadelphia Inquirer. Cooper himself has later apprehended some distance from the trailer park.
He was booked into a juvenile detention center without a grant of bail, police said. He is charged with several offenses in the context of killing a human being, illegally possessing a firearm, and tampering with or falsifying evidence.
