15-Year-Old Killed Siblings

15-Year-Old Killed Siblings, A 15-year-old boy is in custody after authorities investigating the stabbing deaths of his younger adopted brothers found him miles away with traces of blood on him, officials said.
He was arrested Thursday in the deaths of the boys, ages 4 and 10, at the family home in a Utah subdivision of new houses and tidy lawns, police said.
“He spoke bluntly with our investigators,” said Davis County Sheriff Todd Richardson.
County Attorney Troy Rawlings said he wasn’t prepared to file charges. He was trying to find out more about the boy and killings that stunned the community, about 30 miles north of Salt Lake City.
Officials described the older brother as an honor student and a long-distance runner on the track team – when his mother wasn’t home-schooling him, while neighbors said he was socially awkward with a speech impediment.
“I’m still in shock,” neighbor Karin Jackson said Thursday. “This is a wonderful neighborhood and the kids are usually outside playing.”
The younger brothers died from knife wounds following the attack, according to a preliminary report by the medical examiner, and the 15-year-old allegedly acted alone, apparently on an impulse, Richardson said.
At first he was thought to be a third victim, missing from the crime scene, and police publicized his name while looking for him. The Associated Press is withholding his name because of his age.
