Devil Girl Hanged 5 Year-Old Boy
UK - A school girl yesterday admitted hanging a boy of five from a tree before beating him with sticks and nettles in a case that shocked the nation.
The ponytailed 12-year-old wound string around his neck, stomach and genitals, leaving the lad just two seconds from death.
He was found by his cousin wandering “shocked and crying” around the wooded ‘Devil’s Ditch’ area of Dewsbury, West Yorkshire, with severe cuts and burns.
The boy, who was strung up for around 30 seconds, said his attacker put the rope over a branch and “pulled me up”.
Magistrates at Dewsbury Youth Court heard a pathologist claim: “Firm pressure was applied to his neck for 15 to 30 seconds.
“If pressure was applied a few seconds longer there is a strong possibility he would have died.
“The pressure was such that, in my opinion, he fell unconscious.”
The revelations came as the girl admitted assaulting the boy causing actual bodily harm and perverting justice, after lying to cops. A grievous bodily harm charge was withdrawn.
The boy was playing with the girl, his seven-year-old sister and two other children outside his house on a council estate half a mile from the woodland.
But she wandered off alone and he had followed, the court heard.
Prosecutor Merhan Nassiri said his 30-year-old mum realised he was missing and went to look for him around 4.30pm on May 31.
He was treated in hospital for serious burns and was found with “appalling cuts and extensive bruising around his neck”.
In a bid to cover her tracks the girl made a 999 call, recorded on police tape, alerting cops to a boy hanging from a tree.
She was interviewed SIX times by police over three days.
At first, the court heard, she claimed to have been an innocent bystander. Later, she named four kids who were not even there.
The shocked youngsters were held for between 24 and 35 hours before being released when police found they had “foolproof alibis”.
Eventually she admitted putting a rope around his neck after becoming angry on realising he followed her to the woods. The girl, whose mum died last Christmas, has no previous convictions but she was cautioned for assaulting another child last year.
She was also allegedly excluded from school at least three times for bullying.
The girl, normally looked after by her father, is now in the care of social services.
She was released on conditional bail for the preparation of reports in order for magistrates to judge whether she is a ‘dangerous offender’.
She will be sentenced on September 5.
The boy’s mum said: “What she did to my son was horrific.
“He had nightmares for days. But he is getting better and I just want him to get back to some sort of normality.
“I don’t want this girl living in this area. It would be shocking if my son saw her again.”
THE schoolgirl’s dad yesterday tried to cash in on his daughter’s notoriety by offering to sell his story for £50,000. The boozy father said: “She’s my baby, a real bright little kid. I’ll tell you what’s she’s been through, and the troubles she’s had at school and at home. But it’s going to cost you a few fucking thousand.”
