A Jewish man was indicted by a grand jury Wednesday on murder and kidnapping charges in the killing of 8-year-old boy Leiby Kletzky who was abducted off a Boro Park street last week.
Levi Aron, 35, is facing a total of eights counts — two counts of first-degree murder, three counts of second-degree murder, two counts of first-degree kidnapping and one count of second-degree kidnapping.
He faces the maximum penalty of life in prison without parole.
The medical examiner said earlier Wednesday that Leiby was given a cocktail of painkillers and muscle relaxants before he was killed.
As the family ended the Shiva mourning period, thousands are expected to attend a memorial service at the Sefardishe Shul on 14th Avenue, to honor the memory of the boy who got lost on his way home from a day camp in Borough Park on July 11.
In a statement, the suspect wrote he brought Leiby to an upstate wedding the night of July 11, and police believe the boy was brought to Monsey, N.Y., but not necessarily inside the wedding venue.
According to his lawyers, Aron hears voices and is still undergoing court-ordered psychiatric exams to decide if he is capable of standing trial.
Aron has pleaded not guilty to murder and kidnapping, but Brooklyn District Attorney Charles Hynes said that detectives found the suspect in his Kensington apartment standing by clear evidence of the brutal murder.
moshiach now!
Of all the things you could say during the 3 weeks, why choose to “call out” his father for being baal teshuvah (regardless of whether or not that’s even true)? We’re supposed to be working on our ahavas yisroel during this time, not spreading sinas chinam. Why cause completely unnecessary rifts when we really need to be joining together to bring Moshiach??
you are very Rasha!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
May he go to Gehinom and get punished for his terrible act there!! What a sicko… look, the picture is the walk of shame…
Give him the death penalty period
the Abishter has his agents. We don’t need to touch Levi Aaron. I wouldn’t want to dirty myhands on him. Just daven hard in Shemoneh Esrei for the return of Justice. Moshiach Now
Rock stoning to death.
A Ger is considered a Jew. This man is a Jew, a religious one and we just have to deal that nowadays pedophiles and murderers are among us. You need to open your blinders and realize this is real and it is amongst the Frum community as well. Stop blaming his parents, his neshama and all of that. Educate your children on safety and stop using innuendos b/c you are too shy to discuss it with your kids. WAKE UP!!! every community has one or two amongst them. Pedophiles teach your children and no one does anything about it.
Heard that already. Could be.
this is all so horrifying we need moshiach
lol
Where is justice?
THIS MONSTER IS PERFECTLY SANE TO STAND TRIAL AND PEOPLE SHOULD BE DEMONSTRATING NOW TO MAKE SURE THIS MURDERER DOESN’T GET OFF THE HOOK IN ANY WAY WHAT SO EVER! HIS FATHER IS A BAAL TESHUVAH AND WHO KNOWS IF HIS MOTHER WAS EVEN JEWISH, WHICH WOULD EXPLAIN HOW HE COULD BE SO HEARTLESS. ASIDE FROM THIS GRUESOME MURDER HE CAUSED ANOTHER DEATH. THAT OF A WOMAN IN SEAGATE (LEAH WERCBERGER) WHO HAD A HEART ATTACK AND DIED WHEN SHE HEARD WHAT HAPPENED TO POOR LITTLE LEIBBY. HE HAD A SISTER WHO COMMITED SUICIDE SEVERAL YEARS AGO, WHO WAS MOLESTED… Read more »
even a crazy jew has a heart not to do wht yimah shemo did to this child so yes he deserve the worse of the worse but we ned to prtect our kids dont let ur kids walk alone !!!!!! he will get wht he deserve amit looks like this is not his first crime
Ayin tachas Ayin, Shein tachas Shein, Regel tachas Ragel….
Skila, Sreifa, Hereg, Chenek….
Kill the murderer!
terrible!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
they is no olam aba for a murder , someone who spilled blood don’t get it
If Rubashkin could get 25 years in prison, then this murder should get at least a life sentence
Many immature comments here.
While emotions are high, and morally speaking he does not deserve to live and should be severely punished, even the Torah would not give him the death penalty, as there are no witnesses to his crime.
He might get his מיתה בידי שמים, by being incarcerated, and then given the Jeffrey Dahmer treatment by his fellow inmates.
jwhich jew would be capable of “chopping levi up”?????
stop with those suggestions!
they are anti human and anti jewish!
#8:
The death penalty was repealed in NJ in the year 2007 after not being put to use since 1963. Good idea but not practical.
i
would not be suprised if his mother turn up to be a goya.
he does not have a jewish neshama.
il doit mourir a petit feu ,comme ça il va se rendre compte comment l enfant a souffert
All comments above in this most tragic situation are unbecoming and against principlas of Torah. To speak about another Jew in this fashion ( ironically at the beginning of the three weeks) , even with taking into account and consideration that he is alledged to be a murderer, is just furthering and furthering the woes of the Jewish people. Let the justice system takes its course, without spreading and writing bad things about people.
I think we should bring back the electric chair and i think that Levi Aron should be the first to test drive it!!!!!!
While were at it let Cassey Anthony try it out too.
They would be a great match those 2 pieces of trash… they both know how to silence a child. May all of Hashem’s anger pour out at them… Ad bli dai
His name is levi aron
send him to Osama bin laden !!!
Whether he goes to jail or an insane asylum this guy’s life will be miserable. The other inmates in jail will take care of him…they hate people who hurt children and they are criminals themselves so there is no doubt they know how to make someones life terrible. If he gets off on insanity, he will spend the rest of his life listening to the screams of the other people. Either way his life will be one in which he wishes he was dead, and that is better than the painless death of the death penalty. oh yea, and there… Read more »
The boy was searching for his mother who was on 50th ST. All he needed was a phone call to his parents.!!! Why are they
buying the BS!!! of a maniac cold blooded murderer yemach shemoy!!!!
with Casey Anthony on the streets, who knows what a jury can decide with this psycho lunatic. lets daven hard that he doesnt ever get back onto the streets so our children will be safe from another dangerous person
death might be too good for him, but society does not need him. He is not a part of society and therefore should get the death penalty. We do not need to feed and educate and get his medical bills etc. He is not needed and any suffering he may have will not bring the precious child back to his parents.
gr8, hop so to, how du know that law???
If he traveled to Monsey via NJ it becomes a Federal case & he could get the death penalty. Hope that’s what he did.
I don’t belive he ask Levi for directions. He probably looked lost and that is how it happened. He levi does not look like a person a young boy would ask for help beard or no beard. levi knows what to say to take kids. These people know and have ways any normal person would never think of. ottis toole did horrible things to his victims and they never said he was crazy. A murder is a murder, does that mean every murder is crazy. The voices he hears his is neshama yelling at him!!!!!!!!!!! He is not religious, because… Read more »
The lawyer claims Aron levi isnt fit 2 stand trail. Well, if he doesnt fit, cut him in pieces untill he fits
may aaron levy die speedily in our days.
How come he is sane enough to go to work everyday and to plan a crime but is not ” capable ” of paying for his actions?
Shecht the butcher!!!!!!1
that this does NOT become another Casey Anthony case…G-d forbid. This sicko crimminal needs to pay BIG time for suffering he’s caused. There are no words to express the sorrow here.
he really got lost
and y dont they just kill levi and chop him into pieces like he did to leiby?!?!?!
