Boy Accused Of Killing Dad Admits Murder On Tape

Arizona Police Say 8-Year-Old Confessed To Murdering 2 Men

 CBS News Interactive: Crime Beat

FLAGSTAFF, Ariz. (CBS News) ― An 8-year-old boy accused in the shooting deaths of his father and another man told police he did not fire the first shots at the men but later shot them so they wouldn't suffer.

But near the end of an hourlong video of his interview with authorities, the boy admits to the slayings in St. Johns, burying his head in his jacket.

Apache County authorities released the video Tuesday.

The boy has been charged in juvenile court with two counts of murder in the deaths of his father, Vincent Romero, and a man who was renting a room in their home, Timothy Romans.

A defense attorney has said police overreached in their questioning of the boy, who was not represented by a family member or lawyer during the interview.
