A group of fifth grade girls plotted to murder their male classmate after he allegedly cheated on and broke up with one of them, police said.
The four female students at a K-8 charter school in Surprise, Arizona, planned to stab the boy in the stomach and leave a phony suicide note, according to a police report obtained by AZFamily.
The students, aged 10 to 11-years-old, hatched the scheme while at a lunch table during recess at Legacy Traditional School’s West Surprise campus on October 1, 2024, the report claimed.
Police said each girl had been assigned a role in the chilling plot. One would bring the knife, while another would write the suicide note to make it appear as though the boy ended his own life.
The third girl would stand as a lookout, while the fourth would stab him to death.
