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

Sunshine Coast childcare centre intruder on parole at time of death
The 28-year-old intruder at the centre of a Queensland childcare centre emergency had a lengthy criminal history, including charges for stalking, weapon offences and drug dealing. Reubhan Mickeal Gary Ralph was on parole when he died on Monday after smashing his way into the Habitat Early Learning childcare centre at Peregian Springs on the Sunshine Coast. It is understood he was armed, and police tasered him multiple times. Ralph was not known to any staff or families at the centre. Police are investigating whether he was in a drug psychosis at the time of his death. The centre had five staff and six children inside and was winding down at 6pm, about 30 minutes before it was due to close. The staff heard Ralph's efforts to break in and swiftly moved to hide the children. The time it took him to smash through the centre's front glass doors was enough for them to alert police, who arrived to confront Ralph soon after. They attempted to subdue Ralph, who was self-harming. Ralph died in the custody of police. Court documents chronicled Ralph's criminal history, starting in 2021, which included multiple drug offences. Since then, he faced court multiple times and was convicted for drug driving, speeding, drug trafficking, breaching bail, stalking, and carrying a knife in public. He spent five months in custody for the stalking offences. According to court documents, he was part of a syndicate which sold narcotics on the Gold Coast and Sunshine Coast. The money he made was used to pay off his drug debts. Most recently, in May last year, Ralph pleaded guilty in the Supreme Court in Brisbane to possessing and selling drugs. He was convicted but had his three-and-a-half-year prison sentence wholly suspended and was put on probation for two-and-a-half years. Ralph was released on parole in June after breaching his bail conditions. Queensland Police Union president Shane Prior said every officer at the scene acted bravely during the "harrowing incident". "One young constable used initiative and resourcefulness to enter the rear of the premises without the offender being aware and guided the children and carers to safety," he said. "He has saved these kids from a potential lifetime of trauma. Police and Emergency Services Minister Daniel Purdie said he spoke with officers after the attack. "They handled it extremely well and did whatever they could to protect the children and carers," Mr Purdie said. "It really was a horrific incident for this tight-knit community." A Queensland Police Service spokesperson said the childcare evacuation was a team effort between several police officers and facility staff, not one specific officer.
