Joshua Copper, 16, was arrested after asking for help on Instagram disposing of the body of a 13-year-old girl.
As a result, an acquaintance of the alleged perpetrator is said to have seen a video on Instagram in which the 16-year-old can be seen describing his situation and then showing off his victim’s legs and feet covered in blood. He also asked if anyone could help him dispose of the body, news channel ‘CNN’ reported.
The friend showed the video to her mother, who immediately called the police. They also suspected that this was not a young man’s joke and went to the young man’s address.
The police found the body
In the city of Bensalem (Pennsylvania, USA), in a trailer park, police officers found a body in the bathroom of a silver motorhome. The 13-year-old girl has not been identified, but there was some evidence that the perpetrator tried to remove the blood and cover up the crime.
A safe containing firearms and a holster without a pistol was found in the living room of the camper. The alleged killer was discovered near the trailer park and arrested. He was sent to a juvenile detention center without bail and is now facing charges of murder, illegal possession of a firearm and tampering or falsification of evidence, reported The Philadelphia Inquirer.
