Murder

According to the criminal complaint, 14-year-old Carson Peters-Berger asked his cousin, 10-year old Lily Peters to take a walk and explore a trail. Lily took her bike and Carson took his hoverboard. Once they were off the trail, it is alleged that Carson punched Lily in the stomach and pushed her to the ground, then hit her in the head three times with a large stick and strangled her until she was dead. Carson then allegedly raped Lily's dead body.

The criminal complaint alleged that Carson then became scared and fled, went home where he showered and cleaned his clothes, then went back to the scene and dragged Lily's body a few feet and covered her body with leaves.[1][2][3][4][5]
