A 9-year-old Florida boy is facing attempted murder charges for allegedly stabbing his 5-year-old sister Monday afternoon, police say. The stabbing took place in an apartment in Ocala, about 80 miles northwest of Orlando, according to reports. The siblings were playing in the brother’s room when their mom left the apartment to check the mail, WKMG-TV reported. The mother returned and found her son repeatedly stabbing her daughter with a kitchen knife, according to the station. An arrest report obtained by FOX 35 says the boy told police the thought of killing his sister “had entered his head two days earlier” and wouldn’t go away.
