A 12-year-old boy accused of fatally stabbing a nine-year-old boy on a western Michigan playground told authorities he had been planning to murder someone for a year. Jamarion Lawhorn also said he wanted to go to jail, did not know his young victim and that he's 'bad and always does stupid things', according to a delinquency petition filed in Kent County Circuit Court on Friday. WZZM 13 are reporting the pre-teen wanted to die and 'take somebody with him', so he swallowed some pink pills he found at home, took an eight-inch steak knife from the kitchen and walked half a mile to the Pinebrook Village playground.
