The eight teenagers murdered the man in cold blood, who was identified by the police, but his identity is being withheld.
According to a statement, the eight young women met through social networks and in the early hours of Sunday, three 13-year-old adolescents, three 14-year-olds and two 16-year-olds committed the crime, all of whom were arrested for their alleged authorship.
“Eight teenagers were arrested. The victim has been identified as a 59-year-old Toronto resident. What is necessary is being done to notify the family,” they reported in the statement.
The detainees would have stabbed and abandoned the man at the intersection of two well-known avenues in the Canadian city.
The police report indicates that “emergency medical services were called by a group of people who reported that the assault had just occurred.” They transferred him to a hospital, but he entered without vital signs.
The New York Post reported that the man was homeless and living in local shelters.
On the other hand, thanks to the information of several witnesses, the minors were arrested and charged with unplanned intentional homicide, according to detective Terry Browne.
In turn, the official stated that they do not know “how or why they met that night and why their destination was downtown Toronto.” In addition, the detective reported that the detainees were trying to take a bottle of alcohol from the man.
“I’ve been in the police for almost 35 years and you think you’ve seen it all,” he added in an interview with The Associated Press.
Likewise, he denied that it was a gang of girls and classified the attack as a “herd”, which consists of the behavior of several criminals against a single victim simultaneously. (YO)
