Investigators say he was buried after he was brutally murdered by five children – a 12-year-old boy, two 13-year-old girls, and two other boys that are the age of 15 – who happened to be his neighbors.
“While they were playing, one of the 15-year-olds suggested to the others that they should kill Christopher,” explained prosecutor Sergio Almaraz.
“It wasn’t planned. It was a condition of the game they played.”
According to Mirror, all five children had coerced little Christopher into partaking in a game called Kidnap, which consisted of being tied up and beaten. However, things went too far when the children decided to beat him to death with a thorn-covered stick and suffocated him by pressing a stick against his throat, killing him.
Christopher was also stabbed in the neck and in the back by one of the children after he had died.
Afterwards, the children dug a hole and dumped his body inside along with a dead animal. To hide Christopher’s body, they covered the hole with weeds.
The five children believed they were going to their graves with the secret until one of them told their mother, who informed the police, which is how they were able to find Christopher’s body.
A spokesperson from the local prosecution service stated: “Because they’re minors and very young they have very specific rights which are stipulated by law.
“All five children will undergo psychological and sociological studies to determine their family environments.”
Once the children were in police custody, they admitted to brutally killing the 6-year-old boy and hiding his body in a hole last Thursday.
The mother, Tania, of the murdered boy says “What I want is justice. If justice isn’t done, we’ll make sure it’s done with our own hands.”
“I as a mom demand justice. How are they going to set these children free? They haven’t done these horrible things to a dog, they’ve done them to a child.”
According to the law, some of the children are too young to be charged with a crime. Only two of the five children will be facing criminal charges in the death of Christopher Raymundo Marquez.
