‘Just end him’: Four Year 5 girls’ sinister plot to kill male classmate, fake his suicide

Police have revealed the details of a group of Year 5 girls’ plot to kill a male student in the US over cheating allegations following a break-up.

Four fifth-grade girls in Arizona devised a plot to kill a male classmate and make it look like a suicide – with one of the students caught smiling and laughing as she made excuses to investigators, police said.

A newly released report from the Surprise Police Department revealed the disturbing facts behind the arrest of a group of girls, ages 10 and 11, who were set to stab a boy to death during their lunch break at the Legacy Traditional School in October, per The New York Post.

The suspects had agreed to “just end him” in the schoolyard over cheating allegations following a break-up, AZ Family reported.

Each girl was allegedly given a role as they planned to lure the boy to an outdoor bathroom and stab him in the stomach, according to the police report.

One was tasked with bringing a knife, while another would forge a suicide note to make it appear as though the boy had taken his own life.

Another girl would serve as a lookout while the fourth would carry out the stabbing. The would-be murderer was also instructed to wear gloves to avoid leaving fingerprints on the knife.

The girls set the date to enact the plan on October 1, 2024, but some other students had overheard the details of the murder plot and informed school officials before it happened.

All four students were then arrested by Surprise Police and charged with threatening and misdemeanour disorderly conduct.

Three of the girls showed remorse when confronted by police and school administrators, but officials noted that the fourth girl would start smiling and laughing when coming up with excuses over the murder plot.

Surprise Police said the girls were released to their parents following their arrest and suspended from school with expulsion pending.

The department said it does not plan to share further details about the incident. School officials did not immediately respond to The Post’s request for comment.

The twisted plot is reminiscent of the 2014 “Slender Man” stabbing, in which Wisconsin 12-year-old girls Morgan Geyser and Anissa Weier lured their friend, Payton Leutner, to a park after a sleepover.

In a savage attack that aimed to please the aforementioned horror movie character, Geyser stabbed Leutner 19 times while Weier cheered on.
