The boy’s mother is also devastated. “I never thought I would report my son to the police,” she says clearly emotionally in front of the camera. “I think it’s terrible for her parents and I think it’s terrible what happened to them.” She also says she is concerned about her son’s future.
The mother of the 15-year-old suspect, with whom Alisha is said to have been dating, went to the police herself. Her son had come home in bloody clothes and had a vague story. The boy admitted that he kicked and hit Alisha, but initially said she fell into the water herself.
Imprisonment
Police found the body in the river after the mother’s tip. It was full of bruises, which, according to investigators, indicates that the girl was badly beaten before she ended up in the water and drowned.
The family wants to hold a march for Alisha this weekend. The suspects risk a long prison sentence of up to 20 years.
