The media recorded the killers of a 12-year-old boy as lesbians

In the Moscow region, security forces detained two teenage girls on suspicion of murdering a sixth-grader who disappeared on Wednesday. The media call them participants in the “challenge,” but some add that the suspects are in a relationship.

The telegram channel Mash, associated with the security forces, reported today about the murder of a child in Orekhovo-Zuyevo. Within half an hour, a “sensation” appeared there: the suspects were lesbians.

“The girls who killed the 12-year-old are lesbians*. According to the preliminary version, they studied at the same school with the deceased and were afraid that the boy would reveal their relationship.

High school girls were worried about gossip. Then they allegedly called the sixth grader to “drink beer” and then dealt with him,” Mash wrote.

The version about “lesbians” was quickly picked up by other media. There are other versions going around at the same time. The same Mash initially wrote that the girls committed the crime “to watch a murder happen.” They later said that one of the suspects had reposted a video on TikTok with a clip from “The Squid Game” - and that another teenage attack this month was allegedly connected to this game (but it was a costume from the series, not TikTok).

Telegram channel “112” was the first to write about a certain “challenge”.

“According to the locals, the girls acted according to a pre-conceived scenario and carried out certain “tasks.” What it was - an online challenge or a game - is still unknown. Locals also claim that one of the schoolgirls filmed what was happening on her phone,” writes 112.

Later this channel combined versions with curiosity and fear of outing. According to him, the suspects invited their victim to drink beer in an abandoned building, where they then found his body. In this version, the idea of ​​a “challenge” no longer appears.

“According to the source, one of the detainees said that she had long wanted to know “what blood is and what it’s like to kill.” The second one spoke about a close relationship with a friend*. The boy knew about this, and the girls were allegedly afraid that the information would get out in the small village,” writes “112.”
