A heartbreaking case has shocked communities after a 12-year-old girl was charged with killing her 8-year-old cousin — all over a phone.
In court, the young defendant was shown crying uncontrollably, her small frame shaking as the charges were read aloud. The victim’s family sat in silence, torn between grief and disbelief at how such a tragedy could unfold within their own family.
Reports say the argument started with something as simple as a fight over a mobile phone. But in a moment of rage, it escalated into violence that ended the life of a child.
The footage of the girl crying in court has since gone viral, sparking intense debates worldwide. Some viewers say she is still a child herself and needs rehabilitation, while others argue that the severity of the crime demands accountability no matter her age.
👉 What do you think — should a 12-year-old face adult consequences, or is this a case where the justice system needs to focus on rehabilitation?
