[quote]The alleged killer of an eight-year-old Brooklyn boy made a full written confession to authorities of how he smothered the boy with a towel and then dismembered him, sources have confirmed to ABC News.
The confession indicated that 35-year-old Levy Aron had panicked after abducting Leiby Kletzky, 8, when he realized the entire neighborhood -- home to a tightly knit strict sect of religious Jews -- had been searching for the boy, ABC News confirmed.
The Brooklyn District Attorney had no comment on the man's confession.
Police on Wednesday arrested Aron, whom Kletsky had asked for directions before his dismembered body was found early Wednesday in two separate locations, including the man's refrigerator, authorities said.
Thousands and thousands had gathered for the youth's funeral on Wednesday in an emotional outpouring that followed the let down when two days of looking for the boy ended with his dismembered body discovered in a bloody suitcase.
WNBC in New York reported that the confession was about 450 words long and was written on a legal pad.
ABC News learned that parts of the confession were graphic, but law enforcement sources would not disclose those details, which included the specifics of the boy's dismemberment and the packing of his body parts.
WNBC quoted the confession, noting the suspect's use of a refrigerator's freezer for storage. That element was backed by the blood on the freezer door handle that NYC Police Commissioner Ray Kelly noted in his press conference earlier in the day.
Sources told ABC that the suspect also made taped admissions.
The two-day search for Kletsky ended early Wednesday when remains believed to the boy's were found in two Brooklyn locations, two and a half miles from each other. Body parts were found in a black plastic garbage bag inside of suitcase in a dumpster and in the refrigerator of the third floor attic of the home where Aron lived, police said at a news conference this morning.
"It was a very brutal murder," New York Assemb. Dov Hikind told WABC. "This is the worst possible conclusion imaginable."
Leiby was reported missing Monday when he did not meet his mother at a pre-arranged location seven blocks from his camp. Police say the boy and the mother had gone to the location Friday and she had showed him the route he was to take.
Police say Leiby left camp at 5:05 p.m. and missed the turn he was to take to meet his mother. He was lost and asked a stranger, Aron, for directions, police said. The suspect was reportedly described as wearing "trappings" of the Orthodox Jewish community.
Security video footage shows Kletzky speaking to Aron on a corner by his car, police said. Aron then went across the street and entered a building, while Kletzky waited for seven minutes. When Aron returned, the boy and the man got into his car, police said.
Detectives discovered that the building was a dentist's office where Aron went and paid a bill while Leiby waited.
After locating one of the dentists at the practice in New Jersey and a receptionist, the man's identity was determined and police went to his house, a three story home owned by the suspect's father. Aron's parents live on the first floor, his uncle lives on the second and he had been living in the third floor attic apartment, police said.
Police arrived at Aron's apartment at about 2:40 a.m. and found the door slightly ajar. The suspect was standing shirtless in the middle of the room. When asked where the boy was, he pointed toward the kitchen, police said.
There was blood on the refrigerator handle and police found a cutting board and three carving knives inside along with remains that are believed to be the boy's, police said. Aron also directed them to the dumpster where more remains were found, police said.
Police believe Aron took Leiby to his apartment and allegedly killed him there when he panicked after seeing all the fliers and people searching for the child.
There is no indication that Aron was connected to the boy or his family in any way prior to this incident, police said.
The case has drawn comparisons to the mysterious and highly publicized 1979 disappearance of Etan Patz, a 6-year-old boy who left for school and never came home. No body or suspect was ever found and the case was re-opened in May 2010.
"I am speechless and shocked by the brutality and injustice of this horrific crime," said Rep. Jerrold Nadler of Brooklyn said in a statement. "As a father and a human being, I am deeply saddened that so innocent a soul could be so cruelly taken."
Thousands of community members, investigators and detectives participated in the search for Leiby Tuesday. The FBI was involved and a $100,000 reward was offered. Police describe the area as a "very safe neighborhood" and call the situation "every parent's nightmare."
An autopsy was started this morning.[/quote]
I live in Brooklyn
Sickening
Fuck, man. I knew Park Slope was fucked up but holy shit.
why
I don't think my mind will ever be able to even find the slightest reason to do something like that to a kid.
he confessed to it, good for him
yea he confessed to murdering and dismembering an 8 year old kid, what a guy
Huh an all Jewish community muder, don't see that everyday. How did no one see the guy take the kid? Communities like that are usually pervert-proof.

Christ, not even a full 48 hours after I hear about the boy missing on the news, this happens. I've read through it multiple times and can't quite comprehend what happened. Did he panic and mutilate the kid after finding out that the boy was being searched for?

That's what the police believe, yeah
It must have been horrible finding out what was in that fridge
goddamn man
why
He was so young and innocent why did he half to do that :(
Poor baby.
I can't decide if things like this are occurring more often, or advances in media are only making us hear of the incidents far more.
Either way I don't like people.
He confessed therefore he's a good guy :v:
Lately when a news isn't related to videogames it is bad news lately.
I remember watching the news and seeing vans with speakers yelling out information and a shitload of volunteers trying to look for him and less than 2 days they found him.. in pieces :C
