A short YouTube documentary about an Indian boy who was believed to be the world's youngest serial killer is haunting viewers.

Last year, verified channel BigBrainco. posted a short documentary on the platform titled: True Story of the World's Youngest Serial Killer.

The doc is about a boy named Amarjeet Sada, who was born in 1998 in the village of Mushahar in Bihar, India, and is thought to have murdered three people by the time he was eight years old. His victims included very young members of his own family,

According to The Mirror, the killings took place between 2006 and 2007, the first of which occurred when Sada was just seven years old.

Not much is known about the youngster's background, but it is believed that he was born into a poor family and that his father was employed as a labourer.

It was in 2006 that Sada allegedly murdered his six-year-old cousin - his uncle's daughter.

He's also believed to have killed his own sister who was just eight months old at the time.

His final victim was an even younger infant - a six-month old baby girl named Kushboo who lived nearby.

Her mother told authorities that she had left the little one sleeping alone at a school as she went off to do some errands. When she came back, her daughter was missing and a search was underway.

Some hours later, Sada is said to have confessed to police that he took Kushboo, struck her using bricks and strangled her to death.

He then allegedly led village locals to the exact place in a nearby field where he had tried to bury her.

According to Sada's uncle, some members of the family were apparently aware of the initial two killings but kept them under wraps as they were "family matters".

Sada was taken into police custody where he was said to have smiled at the officers and showed no remorse after confessing to killing his sister some months earlier and his cousin the year before

One of the investigators on the case said all the killings were similar in the way they were executed.

According to The Mirror, children cannot be jailed or sentenced to death in India, and so Sada was apparently detained in a children's home in the town of Munger until he turned 18.

He was reportedly released in 2016 and moved to a new city, although his exact whereabouts are unknown to this day.

Needless to say, viewers were absolutely spooked by the story, with many taking to the comments to share their initial thoughts.

One viewer wrote: "The most chilling element of the story is that he's still alive today and is roaming freely."

Another wrote: "So scary, we hope that nothing like this happen ever again."

A third alarmed viewer penned: "Amarjeet is roaming freely among people.."

A disturbing crime in Egypt has drawn widespread attention after a 13‑year‑old boy reportedly killed his classmate and later ate part of the victim’s body.

Per The Sun, the incident took place in the Ismailia Governorate, where the young suspect is now under investigation. The authorities confirmed that remains of the victim were discovered in multiple locations around the city.

How the crime unfolded

According to the investigations, the suspect lured his classmate into his family’s home while his parents were away. The victim was attacked, reportedly with a wooden stick, until he died, and then a power saw was used to dismember the body.

Portions of the dismembered remains were found in several locations, including under a bridge, near a shopping centre, and in open fields. The suspect admitted to disposing of the body parts in that manner and to eating a portion of the body out of curiosity, likening the taste to fried chicken.

Legal and investigative response

After the discovery of the remains, the young suspect was detained by the public prosecution. Initial reports say he was held for about four days before being transferred to a juvenile care facility for further review and evaluation.

A full psychological assessment, drug testing and forensic comparison of his DNA and that of the victim were ordered by the investigating authorities. At this time, there is no independent confirmation that the boy has been formally tried or convicted; the legal process remains ongoing.

Public reaction and broader concerns

The case triggered public outrage in Egypt, with thousands attending funeral prayers for the victim at a local mosque and the burial held in his family cemetery.

Officials and child protection experts say the incident has reignited debate over exposure of children to graphic violence in films and online games, and over whether parents and schools are doing enough to monitor behaviour and media consumption.

In the UK, it's impossible to hear the name Ian Huntley without thinking of Holly Marie Wells and Jessica Aimee Chapman: the two 10-year-old girls he murdered back in 2002.

Known as 'The Soham Killer', Huntley is one of the most notorious murderers to have made headlines over the past few decades - but for a long time, his daughter had no idea what he had done.

Samantha Bryan, now 20 years old, was only a toddler when her father lured the girls to his home and killed them. Her family never told her about what he'd done. When she was 17, however, she saw a picture of Huntley online and recognised her mother alongside him.

After that point, Samantha's mother, Kate, presented her with a box of newspaper clippings that went into detail about the Soham murders. The teenager was, understandably, devastated.

"My mum told me she had a box with everything in it and she would show me when I was ready," she said. "I waited for the time I was ready to see them from her.  I didn't ask much about Ian because I didn't want to upset mum or my adopted dad."

She recalls that she "couldn't stop crying" when reading about her father.

"I feel like because of who I am that people think I am like him," Samantha said. "I would definitely say he is evil. And I would definitely say he is a monster."

Rather than ignore her father's actions, though, Samantha decided to confront her father with a letter in 2017. She explained who she was and asked what drove him to kill those two young girls all those years ago. Now, in a new documentary, The Killer in my Family, the 20-year-old reveals what her father wrote back.

"I have given an awful lot of thought... about how best to respond, and what, if anything. I should say I realise I can't just say no and expect you to accept that," Huntley wrote.

"Firstly I truly don't relish the idea of discussing or you listening to the details of what was unimaginably the most horrendous day of my life.

"Furthermore, I can promise that even if you did, you wouldn't feel any better for it. Nor would you feel any closer to understanding. Fifteen years on, I still don't understand what the hell went wrong that day."

The motive for Huntley's evil actions has never been established, and it is believed that he acted impulsively after having an argument with his then-girlfriend. He had a history of sexual crimes before the killings.

"I didn't want people knowing who my biological father was because I knew certain people would know who he was," Samantha said. "I wanted it to be something I would keep to myself."

But now, almost 17 years after the murders and three years after she discovered the truth, Samantha is ready to talk about what happened, and how her family has been permanently scarred by Huntley's decision to kill.

Huntley is currently serving a life sentence for the murders.

Shocking footage has revealed the moment a murderer admitted to killing his pregnant partner, her two children and a third child.

On December 21, 32-year-old Damien Bendall was handed a whole life order after he confessed to killing his 35-year-old girlfriend Terri Harris, her 11-year-old daughter Lacey, her 13-year-old son John Paul Bennett, and Lacey's 11-year-old friend, Connie Gent.

Bendall had disclosed the killings that happened at the sleepover in Killamarsh, Derbyshire, on September 19 last year. He also pleaded guilty to raping Lacey in the "brutal, vicious, and cruel attacks," and revealed that he smashed the victims' skulls with a claw hammer, per The Mirror.

Now, a new video released by Derbyshire Police has emerged and shows the haunting moment the quadruple killer admitted to his brutal slayings.

In the clip, police officers walk up to Bendall outside of his house and see that he has blood on himself. The alleged killer then said that he stabbed himself.

When police asked him if he knew what was going to happen, he had a chilling response, saying: "I know what is going to happen. I'm going to go to prison again."

The officer then responds with: "Have you done something to anyone else?" to which Bendall replies "yeah," adding: "I've murdered four people."

According to the Mirror, Bendall also remarked in a police interview after his arrest that the house was "covered in claret" as he confessed to the horrendous murders.

"The whole house is covered in claret. I used the hammer. I didn’t realize what I did until I walked into my room and saw my missus and my daughter," he said.

"Bet you don’t usually get four murders in Killamarsh do you - well, five [murders] because my missus was having a baby," he added.

After having horribly slaughtered his partner and the three kids, Bendall "took John's Xbox, ordered a taxi, went to Sheffield," where he then exchanged the console "for drugs," as reported by ITV News.

He later told the police that he had consumed "three to four bags of cocaine and then blacked out," which prosecutor Louis Mably KC said shows "an indication of the sheer callous depravity of the defendant's conduct that night".

During the court hearing, the prosecutor told Justice Sweeney that the Crown would be pursuing a whole life term for Bendall, given the seriousness of the crimes, per The Telegraph.

"In view of all this, the prosecution’s submission as to sentence is that the seriousness of the offending is so exceptionally high, it falls into the category of case that calls for the imposition of a whole life order, rather than a minimum term," he said.

Vanessa Marshall KC also said that Bendall agreed he should be handed a whole life order and added he still claims to have no memory of the attack.

"Even with the suggestion that he was controlling and coercive towards Terri Harris, his actions that night remain largely inexplicable and motiveless," she said.

In a victim impact statement read to the court, Jason Bennett, the father of the deceased children, said: "The murder of my children has destroyed and taken my life away."

Charles Gent, the father of Connie, also said in his statement: "The murder of my daughter, Connie, has completely torn my life apart. I feel like I have become a lost soul trying to navigate my way through life without her here."

Angela Smith, Harris's mother, described in her statement how Lacey and John would tell her that they were scared of monsters, saying: "I would tell them there was no such thing as monsters. How wrong I was."
