VICTORIA, British Columbia, Oct. 27 (UPI) -- Two Canadian teenagers admitted in court Wednesday they raped and killed a girl they knew and then burned her body and left it close to a trail near Victoria.
The Vancouver Island 16-year-old and 18-year-old pleaded guilty to first-degree murder, sexual assault and related charges in the March slaying of 18-year-old Kimberly Proctor, the Canadian Broadcasting Corp. reported.
Proctor, a student at Pacific Secondary School, had dated one of her assailants briefly in 2009. A court document revealed the boys plotted to lure her to one boy's house, ostensibly to apologize for having been "so mean to her lately," but with the real intention of sexually assaulting and killing her, then burning and disposing of her body.
Her burned body was found March 19 near the Galloping Goose Trail, west of Victoria, and an autopsy determined she died of asphyxiation.
Prosecutors want the boys sentenced as adults.
