A 14-year old boy is accused of starting a fire which "killed his 11-year-old sister because he wanted to be adopted by a rich family, the Old Bailey heard". However, the police allege that a list entitled 'Operation New Life ' was found under the boy's bed including the details: "Kill family. Lose memory. Get adopted by a rich couple. It all starts."
The trial has been adjourned until Tuesday. (I expect the jury needs a rest - I certainly feel somewhat nonplussed after having read this story.)
