Canadian girl admits to stabbing her eight-year old brother
A Canadian teen accused of murdering her family told a hushed courtroom she stabbed her eight-year-old brother, but her much older boyfriend slit the child's throat, said reports Wednesday.
The girl, who cannot be identified under Canadian law, told a jury in little more than a whisper that her boyfriend, Jeremy Steinke, had killed her parents and then ordered her to stab the little boy, said the daily Globe and Mail.
"He yells at me, 'Stab him, just stab him! Slit his throat!"' she testified.
"I said, 'I can't, I can't,' and he said, 'You have to. I did this for you."'
The jury in Medicine Hat, Alberta heard over and over that the girl, now 13, had regularly talked about killing her parents, but did not mean it.
Prosecutors said she was angry that her parents had grounded her in an attempt to cool her relationship with 23-year-old Steinke.
According to the Globe and Mail, the girl testified her brother pleaded with her for his life, saying, "I'm scared. I'm too young to die."
She said she stabbed him once with a kitchen knife "somewhere on his upper body," but could not do anything more, the paper said.
The girl claimed that angered Steinke, who was covered in her parents' blood and panting on that fateful night in April 2006, so he grabbed the boy and slit his throat.
Unable to watch, she heard her brother trying to breathe, she said, weeping on the stand. "He was gurgling."
The girl also admitted to having sex with Steinke in his trailer after sneaking out of the house one week before the slayings, and again in a friend's apartment while her family lay dead, hours before their bodies were discovered by her brother's playmate peering through a basement window.
"I loved him so much. I thought it would bring us closer together," she explained.
Steinke faces three charges of first-degree murder in the killings, but has not yet entered a plea and no trial date has been set.
