WASHINGTON - An 11-year-old boy suspected of killing his five-year-old brother in Colorado has been charged with murder, US media reported on March 18.
The five-year-old boy was found dead in a home in Centennial, a suburb of Denver, Colorado, on March 11.
The Arapahoe County Sheriff’s Office said last week that the suspect was the victim’s brother and that the cause of death remained under investigation.
“Because both the victim and the suspect are minors, the information we release will be limited,” the sheriff’s office said at the time.
The 11-year-old has been formally charged with first-degree murder, the 18th Judicial District Attorney’s Office said on March 17.
In the statement, the office said the 11-year-old had been earlier “arrested for killing his five-year-old brother”.
