The 14-year-old brother of the deceased, who was found yesterday on Thursday in A pen.

According to EL.AS sources, the 14-year-old teenager verbally confessed to the murder of his brother, and written testimony is expected from him. The minor will be with the police at the scene of the crime to indicate to them that he threw away the weapon with which he killed his brother.

A 14-year-old boy allegedly attributes the death of his 17-year-old brother to an accident while hunting a wild boar. In particular, he stated that they knew where his father had a single-barreled gun. They took it and when they spotted the boar, it ran away and the 17-year-old handed the gun to the 14-year-old to chase him. Giving him a gun, he claimed that he fired and hit the 17-year-old in the head.

The officers did not find the gun at the first stage of the autopsy and believe that the gun was accidentally thrown there later. An autopsy is also expected tomorrow to determine the distance from which the victim was shot, as well as height, as the 14-year-old is small in stature and build. These factors are critical, as ELAS officials do not rule out that the murder was committed by another person, and that a 14-year-old boy claimed responsibility, as this may have less legal consequences.

Recall that a 17-year-old teenager was found dead on Thursday afternoon (March 11) by a passer-by in Lutsa. The victim went with his 14-year-old brother to gather sheep for his family. Then the 14-year-old teenager disappeared, and was later found by the police and taken to the homicide department, where he testified until late at night, accompanied by his father.
