Youthful Killer
Comic Book Fan
Oakland. Calif. (U.R) The
14-year-old boy who admitted
killing a playmate half his age
with a hatchet and a knife, has
told authorities he was an avid
reader of "horror" comic books.
The youth, David Drew, told
Dr. Douglas Kelley, University
of California psychiatrist, that
he liked to read comic books
"that depict torture and throw
ing people off cliffs."
The slaying took place Tues
day afternoon, when the youth
was helping 7-year-old Stanley
R. Frank Jr., and another 8-year-old
build a fort in a ravine. The
8-year-old went home for dinner
time, but Stanley did not.
Not Legally Insane
David said he accidentally
struck Stanley with an axe and
then an "urge" came over him
that resulted in his stabbing the
younger boy four times with a
hunting knife.
Kelley reported to Alameda
County District Attorney J.
Frank Coakley that David was
not legally insane.
Coakley said he is consider
ing one of three steps: Seeking
the youth's commitment to a
state institution; prosecuting the
case as a juvenile matter; or ask
ing a formal indictment of mur
der. An autopsy fixed the hatchet
blow as the cause of death.
