TWO teenagers who wanted to experience murder told police it "felt right" to strangle a friend and bury her body in a shallow grave beneath her West Australian home.
The 17-year-old girls, who cannot be named due to their age, today faced a sentencing hearing in Perth Children's Court after pleading guilty to murdering Eliza Jane Davis in the small coal mining town of Collie on June 18, 2006.
"We just did it because we felt like it, it is hard to explain," the other girl said.
"I knew we had wanted to kill someone before.
"We knew it was wrong, but it didn't feel wrong at all, it just felt right."
The girls planned their attack and changed into old clothes.
One of them snuck up behind Eliza as she was reading, wrapped speaker wire twice around her throat and quickly tightened it as the other held her down, trying to press a chemical soaked cloth into her mouth.
"She started not being able to get her breath, and we just kept going," one of the girls said.
"She was just yelling at us `What the f**k, what are you doing' .. `Oh you freaks, what's wrong with you psychos."
-----------
Oddly this behavior is not uncommon - and as shocking as it is I think we will find more of it as teenagers/youth simply don't give a shit anymore about anything - even themselves. Hard to believe a day may come that the rest of us may demand some sort of ethical and moral training for kids right after math class.
