The savage killing of Anthony Darnell Wilson, 9, because he refused to share his bicycle has resulted in the filing of delinquency charges against two Beloit, Wis., boys, 12 and 14. According to police, Wilson was first stabbed in the back with a stick by an 11-year-old girl, then suffered multiple stab wounds to the chest and a blow to the head. Two knives were found near the body. A 5-year-old witness was put in protective custody because of threats by the suspects. The 11-year-old is too young to be charged even with delinquency in what a prosecutor called “one of the most vicious” killings he has ever seen, but she could be sent to a treatment center.
