According to Eakin's later testimony, the three boys went to a nearby park. Savoie asked Sorger to feel the ground in order to see if it was wet. He instructed Sorger to touch the ground and count to ten. While Sorger was on his knees, Savoie dropped a rock "the size of a basketball" on his neck. He then began to repeatedly beat and stab Sorger. Eakin testified that he himself also beat Sorger in the head and legs using a fallen tree branch. With Sorger laying motionless on the ground, the two boys returned home.
