Share this @internewscast.com

Authorities in Arizona have detained four fifth-grade girls who allegedly planned to kill a boy at a charter school in Surprise and make it appear as a suicide.

A newly disclosed police report revealed that the plan was devised by the 10- and 11-year-old girls during lunch and recess on October 1, 2024, according to KPHO. The report indicated that their aim was to “just end him” and suggested that the motive might have been related to a recent breakup.

The plot was overheard by other students who then informed staff at Legacy Traditional School. The school administrators subsequently collaborated with the school resource officer to conduct an investigation.

A police report said the four girls each had their own roles in the plan, which was to lure the boy into an outside bathroom at the school and stab him in the stomach. One of the girls was tasked with bringing the knife, another was to forge a suicide note, and a third was to serve as lookout while the fourth girl murdered her classmate.

The girls also planned to wear gloves to avoid fingerprints.

The girls backpacks were searched, and they were questioned by police with their parents present. The report said three of the girls appeared remorseful, while fourth smiled and laughed and made excuses for what she was doing.

The girls were charged with threatening and disorderly conduct and were suspended from school pending expulsion. They were released to their parents.

Police and the school declined to comment further on the case. Family members also declined comment.

The Maricopa County Attorney’s Office told KPNX that the case is now closed.
