edmontonsun.com - Edmonton News - Brother may be killer
Quote:
A seven-year-old boy who was killed in his northeast Edmonton home was allegedly stabbed by his four-year-old brother, CTV is reporting.
A source who has spoken with the family said the Sunday incident began with a fight over a toy.
CTV also said it has learned that because of the young age of the child allegedly involved, criminal charges will not be laid.
Edmonton police released few details about the incident yesterday.
An autopsy had been scheduled for yesterday afternoon but the results were not released.
Neighbour Mark Burden said it's impossible to fathom what the family must be going through.
"I feel for the family," Burden said. "We're praying for them and hopefully they can get through this time. It's tough."
Police responded to a reported stabbing at a northeast home around 2 p.m.
They rushed the injured boy to hospital where he was pronounced dead.
The home belongs to Nadir Ali Saad and Khiyal Salih Ismael. A longtime friend of the family said there were three kids and a mother and father living in the home. Mohammed Mohammed said the family moved to Canada from Iraq 15 years ago.
