Warden: Jail no place for boy, 11
A US jail warden said he would ask a judge to move an 11-year-old boy accused of killing his father's pregnant girlfriend to a juvenile detention centre.
Lawrence County Warden Charles Amado said his 300-inmate jail cannot offer proper long-term care for Jordan Brown, of Wampum.
The boy has been in the county jail some 45 miles north-west of Pittsburgh since early on.
Brown is charged as an adult with using his own 20-gauge shotgun to kill 26-year-old Kenzie Marie Houk while she lay in bed on Friday morning.
Prosecutors are not discussing a motive, but experts on mixed families say it is not unusual for children to feel anger and fury toward a parent's new mate.
