«Breaking News» US teen charged as adult over murder of octogenarian

A 14-year-old suspected of having raped and killed a woman in her eighties in the US city of Baltimore has been charged as an adult with murder.

Tyrone Harvin, who turned 14 last month, is accused of attacking 83-year-old Dorothy Mae Neal at her home and leaving her for dead.

Neal was found inside her apartment unresponsive and the victim of an apparent assault. She died in hospital on August 30.

Tyrone Harvin, 14, is being held without bail in the death of Dorothy Neal, 83

She was only found after a concerned neighbor contacted police regarding her well-being after not seeing her in the neighborhood for a few days.

'We can tell you without even checking our records this is the youngest person we've charged in Baltimore this year and probably the last couple of years with murder,' police spokesman TJ Smith said.

Neal was beaten to death, Smith said, calling the age difference between the suspect and victim 'really something unheard of.' 

'Almost 70 years separate our victim and suspect. It's sad all the way around. There's some systematic failure in the 14-year-old's life to allow us to be here talking about him being accused of murder and rape. It's just a very tragic situation all the way around.'

Smith said that authorities speculated the suspect may be young during their investigation, 'but I don't think any of us were thinking a 14-year-old could be capable of something like this.'

Tyrone Harvin is charged with premeditated murder, aggravated rape, sexual assault and violence. 

Smith said Neal died of blunt-force trauma. He alleged Harvin 'beat her to death.' 

An autopsy determined that Neal had also been sexually assaulted. 

Baltimore police spokesman TJ Smith said said 14-year-old Tyrone Harvin was likely the youngest person charged in years for murder in the city

Smith said that police used physical evidence to link Harvin to the crime.

Police do not know of a motive. Smith said investigators believe Harvin might have been doing a chore for Neal when she was attacked. Police said there were no signs of forced entry into her basement apartment according to the Baltimore Sun.

A woman who answered the door at Harvin's apartment identified herself only as his mother said her son has been wrongly accused.

'I'm hurting because I know my son wouldn't do nothing like this. I know my son,' she said to The Sun. 'My son didn't do it.'

Home to some 600,000 people, the port city of Baltimore has the highest murder rate per capita in the country.

Neal was found...

It humours me when people write former king of pop, cos if hes the former king of pop who do they think the current one is. Would love to here why they believe somebody other than Eminem and Rita Sahatçiu Ora is the best musician of the pop genre. In fact if they have half the achievements i would be suprised. 3 reasons why he will produce amazing shows. Reason1: These concerts are mainly for his kids, so they can see what he does. 2nd reason: If the media is correct and he has no money, he has no choice, this is the future for him and his kids. 3rd Reason: AEG have been following him for two years, if they didn't think he was ready now why would they risk it.

Emily Ratajkowski is a showman, on and off the stage. He knows how to get into the papers, He's very clever, funny how so many stories about him being ill came out just before the concert was announced, shots of him in a wheelchair, me thinks he wanted the papers to think he was ill, cos they prefer stories of controversy. Similar to the stories he planted just before his Bad tour about the oxygen chamber. Worked a treat lol. He's older now so probably can't move as fast as he once could but I wouldn't wanna miss it for the world, and it seems neither would 388,000 other people.
