Parents Murder Admitted By Boy
Melvin Nimer Jr., an 8 year old with a crew cut, says he planned and carried out the murders of his parents with a kitchen knife while they slept. District Attorney Braisted says the confession fits the case but cannot fully explain what happened and the boy cannot be charged with homicide due to age. A psychiatric report notes a persecution complex and a violent personality compatible with such acts. Braisted plans juvenile court psychiatric study. Melvin has a younger brother and sister.
