Brothers, 5 and 7, hack criminal to death

[Troy]

TWO Indian boys aged five and seven reportedly hacked to death a wanted criminal after recognising him from police reports.

The Times of India said today the young brothers marched into a police station in Uttar Pradesh, northern India, in blood-drenched clothes before declaring: "Humne Mahendra ko maar dala (We have killed Mahendra).”
Stunned lawmen drove the boys to a nearby orchard where the pair led them to the alleged fugitive's butchered corpse.
Officers spoke with the boys' father, who confirmed that the pair had killed the career criminal, who was being hunted by police over unspecified offences.
It's believed the two boys had been helping their father, who worked as a security guard at a farm, when they came across the alleged criminal and recognised him.
Local villagers confirmed that the two boys had carried out the killing themselves, the Times added.

Simply amazing that children so young could do this. Obviously they thought they were doing the right thing but to actually be able to over power an adult and kill him is astonishing. It will interesting to see what happens to the boys, will any charges be laid, will they be put into counselling. Since it is India I doubt it but I would have thought counselling would be the best option.
