Horrific murder of six-year-old Mexican boy who was tortured to death by five other children during macabre 'kidnap game'.
They allegedly tied up his hands and feet and beat him with thorny stick
Then 'stoned and suffocated little boy, before stabbing him in the back'
Alleged killers are boy, 12, two girls aged 13 and two other boys aged 15
A six-year-old boy has been brutally murdered by five other children during a macabre 'game of kidnap', Mexican authorities have revealed.
Christopher Raymundo Marquez was allegedly invited to play and collect firewood from a waste ground near his home in Chihuahua by the youngsters, aged 12 to 15.
But as they reached a stream, the children told him they were going to feign a kidnap. They tied Christopher's hands and feet together, before beating him with a thorn-covered stick, it is said.
They then reportedly stoned the youngster and suffocated him with the stick pressed against his neck, killing him. After he had died, one of the children even stabbed him in the back, it is alleged.
Christopher's body was found buried face-down in a shallow grave in the northern Mexican city of Chihuahua early Saturday afternoon - two days after he went missing from his nearby home.
The alleged killers, a boy aged 12, two girls aged 13 and two other boys aged 15, had covered the hand-dug hole he had been dumped in with weeds and a dead animal, sources stated.
Police detailed the horrific circumstances surrounding Christopher's killing on Saturday night as they revealed that three of the child suspects are too young to be charged and tried under local law.
