The youngest criminals. Who are they?

They say that a big maniac often grows out of a small maniac. It is possible that one juvenile offender simply lacked parental attention, while others initially perceived their horrible antics as a game. One way or another, but the people that will be discussed below, were included in the list of "The youngest criminals".

5. Craig Price

In September 1989, Joan Hilton (39 years old) and her two daughters, eight and ten, were found dead in her own home. The victims were killed very cruelly: the mother received 60 stab wounds, and the girls - 30.

It was not difficult to find the killer. He was 15-year-old Craig Price. There were more than enough evidence against Craig: a knife wounded with a knife, bloody gloves and a kitchen knife. On account of this guy, there were a couple more committed crimes. Craig Price is in prison until today. For his monstrous crime, this teenager gets the 5th place in the rating "The youngest criminals".

4. Graeme Frederick Young

This English boy was fond of chemistry before fanaticism. But rather poisons and their influence on man. He was also very fond of stories about maniacs, and considered his idol Adolf Hitler. He began experimenting with poison from the age of 14. He possessed a truly natural talent for resourcefulness and acquired various poisons so that no one suspected anything. The victims of his experiences were close people - friends and relatives.

Young had time to poison his father, stepmother, sister. In 1962 he was arrested. In the course of the investigation, it turned out that Graham is crazy. 9 years (out of 15 awarded) he spent in a psychiatric hospital and left allegedly healthy. At large, the criminal found work and started poisoning his colleagues. Then he again got to places of imprisonment, where he died in 1990. For his "ingenuity" Graham Frederic was in fourth place in the list of "The youngest criminals."

3. Jesse Pomeroy

Jesse began his terrible deeds from the age of 11. It is worth noting that this boy is the youngest US criminal. He lured his comrades into secluded places and killed them with the most brutal methods. Before he was caught by the police, Pomeroy managed to kill 7 children. In the colony, the maniac spent 21 years. After the release of freedom, he again took up the old and killed 2 children. The court sentenced him to life imprisonment. Jesse died in a single cell at 72 years old.

2. John Weebles and Robert Thomson

On the second place were two teenagers - 10-year-old John Weebles and Robert Thomson. These young criminals kidnapped and brutally beat a 2-year-old boy. To hide the traces of the crime, they decided to throw the child on the tracks. For this crime, they received 10 years imprisonment.

1. Francois Bertillon

All records broke 23-month-old Francois Bertillon. However, his crimes can not be placed on a par with the above. In 1891, the boy was accused of gluttony, as he had nibbled all the pears in the basket. The guilt of the child was fully proved by his father, who invented the Bertillonage. But despite such a minor act, it is believed that Francois is the youngest criminal.

And if the last crime causes only a smile, then all the others bring only horror and fear.
