9 Month Old Boy Booked for Attempted Murder -Andrew Tunell
Recently in Pakistan a 9 month old boy was booked and finger printed for a attempted murder. A police official named Atif Zulfikar Butt said that the incident started once officials went to the boys house to collect a gas bill and were injured by the family who threw bricks at them. Later the 9 month old and the family were booked for a attempt at murder, but luckily the police filed a false arrest charge and the official who registered the case was suspended.

I think this is really disappointing on both the family and the polices part. The family should not have thrown bricks at the at the police, but the police should not have filed a murder charge on a 9 month old boy.

This is ridiculous in my opinion. It's actually pretty funny. It just doesn't make any logical sense that police would file a murder charge for a baby who doesn't even know what murder is.
ReplyDeleteI agree with you. It seems like the police were just agitated about the bricks and arrested the boy because of it, because based on what they said in the article, the boy couldn't have done the crime. A baby can't commit murder unless we're talking about that one scary movie with the baby murderer I forget the name of.
ReplyDeletethis is weird. Realy wierd. I understand booking the adults in the family, but why the infant? Did the policeman think he was possesed or something?
ReplyDeleteThat's so weird. I can't believe they actually suspected that a baby attempted murder.
ReplyDeleteThis is just stupid. The baby was just copying his parents. He's too young to actually understand the concept of hatred horrible enough to murder someone. The police are taking too drastic of measures. They just need to put the boy in a better home.
