Just yesterday a little Jewish boy named Leiby Kletzky was killed. He was only 8- years-old. Leiby was walking home from day camp for the first time and got lost. He asked a stranger for help. The man he asked was Levi Aron , a 35- year- old man who led the innocent boy to his death. According to Aron, he saw that there was a search for the boy, so he âÂÂpanicked” and suffocated the boy with a towel. Then, he chopped his body up and put it in a suitcase. The parents of the boy were filled with grief. This was the most random and senseless murder to date. All the boy did was ask for directions.
In my opinion, this man must have a mental disorder to murder an innocent child. This story reminds me of an episode of âÂÂLaw & Orderâ or âÂÂWithout A Trace.â The crime investigation and conviction all happened within two days. ItâÂÂs hard for me to really think about LeibyâÂÂs murder, because he just wanted a chance to be a “big boy”. Last night his funeral service was held and thousands of people went to show their support for the family. The family is Jewish, but the people who came were Jews, Christians, and Muslims. Regardless of religion, it was a senseless act of violence that touched many hearts. Since the family is Jewish, it is against their religion to do an autopsy. They will never know exactly how Leiby died, except that his body was dismembered. The only question still existing is WHY?
