Newz: 8 year old boy now says he didn't kill his Father

In recent times, an 8 year old boy from Arizona was suspected and caught for the deaths of his father and another man who rented a room in their house. The boy initially said that he shot both men when he got back from school. Firstly, the boy denied any involvement in the shootings but later said he shot his already wounded father "because he was suffering."

The boy said when he shot his father, he was still moving and then he thought it might be better to shoot him again.He said on the tape he shot both men twice.Police have said the boy had confessed to shooting the men with a .22-caliber handgun.Police released the first 12 minutes of the tape, which did not include the alleged confession, earlier Tuesday and released the remainder of the tape late Tuesday afternoon.The boy shot the men with a .22-caliber handgun.

The boy later said he was about two houses down from his home when he saw a white car "driving pretty fast" in front of his house. Then, he said, he saw Romans lying on the ground. The boy said he ran over to Romans, then ran inside the house calling for his father, whom he also found falling dead and bloody.On the tape, the child continued to deny being home when the killings took place.

Police said last week they were attempting to discern a motive in the slayings.

"We solved the crime," St. Johns Police Chief Roy Melnick told KPHO. "Now we have to solve the mystery of why."

The Car Dispute Theory--Pursued By Chicago Police Department

Law enforcement sources now tell they are indeed looking into what appears to be a dispute over a car in the investigation of the murders of Jennifer Hudson's mother and brother.

Julia, the estranged wife of suspect William Balfour, complained that Balfour wrongfully sold a car, causing her to hitch a ride with brother Jason, one of the victims.

Several neighbors last night talked about a recent dispute over stealing a car, in which an unnamed family member promised "revenge." Several other neighbors this morning who say Julia complained to them that William Balfour sold one of their cars without permission.One neighbor told the dispute got so heated William threatened to "kill Julia's family" but she didn't report it because she didn't take it seriously.

As for the dispute over the car being the trigger, sources say cops are pursuing the lead but are looking at everything.

And law enforcement sources say people other than Balfour have been interviewed as well.

UPDATE: WFLD in Chicago has confirmed the FBI is now assisting the search for Julia's 7-year-old son, Julian King.
