Chongqing, China – Tragedy struck yesterday at a high rise apartment in this metropolitan city of nearly 29 million people. A mother was leaving the apartment elevator with her child and was attempting to pull his bicycle out of the elevator when a ten-year-old girl slipped inside. The elevator closed leaving the girl alone with the woman’s two-year-old son named Yuanyuan.
CCTV camera footage showed the girl pick the child up as if to comfort him at which point she thrusts him against the metal floor of the lift and begins kicking him repeatedly as the elevator rises to the 25th floor. The footage then shows a screaming child being shoved out of the elevator. Next, the girl took the child to the balcony where she pushed him off. Little Yuanyuan survived the fall long enough to be taken to an area hospital where he succumbed to his injuries.
The horrifying act is harder to comprehend given the young age of the assailant. She later told Yuanyuan’s mother that an unknown boy had kidnapped Yuanyuan, but then changed the perp’s gender to a girl. There is yet to be a motive for the senseless killing. Nor is it known if the girl was known by her victim prior to the attack.
CCTV footage shows a 10-year-old girl standing over a prone toddler before she hurled him over the edge of a balcony in the Chinese city of Chongqing earlier this week. Source: Supplied
