WHY DID THEY KILL?

These were nice kids, model kids. They didn't wear leather jackets and roam the streets in "wolf-packs"; they didn't steal and mug for dope.
For kids, they were well-mannered and quiet. They were attractive and nicely dressed. You'd have welcomed them as next-door neighbours.

Yet . . . 

One Raped.

One Murdered.

One Killed By Fire.
