The hearing on that isn’t scheduled until next June. Either way, authorities plan on keeping him in juvenile detention for the next ten years, until he turns 25. No motive has been officially released but neighbors offer a few clues. He apparently was having trouble with his schoolwork.
Teen framed his brother
From details slowly trickling out to the public, the accused teen appears to be a cold-blooded killer, who planned the massacre of his entire family in advance. The 15-year-old boy allegedly executed his parents, along with three of his four siblings.
While Washington state is notorious for Democrat anarchy, the scene of this crime was a mansion in the Fall City suburbs.
The killer thought he had it all figured out, planning to “frame his younger brother for the massacre, claiming he was caught watching porn.” Police detectives weren’t buying it for an instant.
The teen told one story but the evidence told an entirely different one. So did his little sister, who survived by playing dead, then escaping out the window unnoticed. She’s the only survivor besides the killer.
Not knowing his 11-year-old sister had reached the safety of their neighbor’s house, the teen suspect called 911 “from the family’s $2 million house in Fall City at 4:55 a.m. Monday.” Allegedly from a bathroom. He reported that 13-year-old Benjamin “committed the murderous rampage after he was caught watching porn the previous evening.”
One experienced glance around the crime scene was enough to convince police that he was lying. They didn’t tell him his sister already called separately to say he tried to kill her and thought he had done the job.
Staged the scene
Officers instantly noticed several discrepancies in his story. For instance, the “black Glock pistol” which the teen “placed” in his brother’s hand wasn’t the murder weapon. It hadn’t even been fired. Not only that, “the blood spatter from Benjamin’s fatal wound did not match up with how his body was found.”
The sister relates that he used their dad’s silver Glock. The one he kept locked in a box that only the suspect knew the combination to, other than dad.
Neighbors inform that Mark Humiston, 43, and his 42-year-old wife Sarah Humiston “were highly religious and strict with their five children.” Apparently too strict, “deciding whom they could be friends with and homeschooling them.” Mark “was a longtime engineer and Sarah was a registered nurse.”
The only clues to motive relate to his schoolwork. The teen “failed some tests at school” and got into “a lot of trouble.” School and home are apparently one and the same.
The surviving sister relates that “her older brother barged into her bedroom and allegedly opened fire on her, striking her in the hand and neck, and allegedly killed their younger sister, with whom she shared a room.” The teen assassin “then left the room and leaned over the three lifeless bodies in the hall to touch their necks and chests to see if they were alive.”
He’s been charged with five counts of first-degree aggravated murder and one count of first-degree attempted murder. This is one criminal who will actually get prosecuted, instead of released right back out the revolving door but it takes a seriously high profile crime to earn that distinction.
