Moment Leo Ross killer callously lied he was innocent and found body of boy, 12
Kian Moulton, the teenage murderer of Leo Ross, was recorded on police body camera misleading officers about his involvement in the discovery of the boy's body after fatally stabbing him.
In a recent release of police body cam footage, Kian Moulton, a 15-year-old who was sentenced to life in prison for the murder of 12-year-old Leo Ross, can be seen misleading police about the circumstances of the boy's death. The footage captures Moulton attempting to portray himself as an innocent bystander who discovered Leo injured rather than as the perpetrator of the heinous crime. He falsely claimed to have sought help for Leo after finding him in distress, while evidence confirms his role as the killer who had stabbed Leo with a kitchen knife.
The police footage was made public following the lifting of reporting restrictions, just two days after Moulton received a mandatory life sentence with a minimum term of 13 years. The shocking images reveal Moulton's attempts to fabricate a narrative that absolves him of responsibility. His false statements highlight a disturbing disregard for both the victim and the gravity of his actions, emphasizing the premeditated nature of the murder.
This case has drawn significant attention, emphasizing the tragic loss of a young life to senseless violence. The sentencing of Moulton has sparked discussions about youth crime and the legal system's approach to juvenile offenders. As the footage circulates, it underscores the importance of accountability and the need for comprehensive measures to prevent future tragedies of this nature.
