Original Title: TIL A 17 year old youth who killed a 15 year old girl was caught after a sting that included staging a video game competition then he was led to believe a very wealthy and powerful entertainment executive wanted to help him and make his problems go away, leading to his confession
This is the best summary I could come up with:
In court on Thursday, members of the Szendrei family wept as the guilty plea was entered.
Crown prosecutors have said they will seek an adult sentence for the man, who was just days away from his 18th birthday at the time of the crime.
At the time of the murder police released few details about the incident, except to say the man did not know Szendrei and was not previously known to them, and it appeared the attack was a crime of opportunity.
The court heard that on Sept. 25 at about 1:30 pm PT Laura Szendrei was planning to meet friends at Mackie Park.
Her friends found her a few seconds later, barely alive and suffering severe head wounds.
Ultimately, prosecutors said, the ruse led to a confession which helped police find the murder weapon, a metal pipe which was in his father’s workshop.
