Can a teenager be any more stupid?
SHEBOYGAN, Wis.
Two Sheboygan boys were charged Friday morning in the killing of a 78-year-old Sheboygan Falls woman.
One of the boys, Antonio Barbeau, was her great-grandson. They are both 13-year-old eighth-graders.
"This is a very disturbing allegation, particularly as to the details as to how this crime occurred," Sheboygan County District Attorney Joe DeCecco said.
Barbara Olson was found dead in her garage Wednesday afternoon.
Police said Barbeau initially hit his great-grandmother in the head with the blunt end of a hatchet, knocking her down. He then hit her several more times. The other boy, Nathan Paape, then hit her twice with a hammer, and then, Barbeau hit Olson in the head with the blade of the hatchet, police said.
Prosecutors said the boys went to the house with the intent to kill her. They also stole some of her jewelry and other items, police said.
