Update in Lily Peters case: the teen accused of killing and sexually assaulting a 10-year-old girl in Chippewa Falls, WI plans to waive his hearing.
Lily Peters, 10, was found dead near Leinenkugel Brewery in Chippewa Falls, WI. The missing girl's death is now being investigated as a homicide.A 14-year-old Wisconsin boy accused of killing a 10-year-old girl after luring her off a trial by suggesting they explore surrounding woods plans to waive his right to a preliminary hearing Thursday.
The boy's attorney has submitted a letter to the court in Chippewa County saying the teen waives his right to the hearing in which a judge determines if there's enough evidence for a trial. The boy was scheduled to appear remotely from the detention center Thursday afternoon. The boy, identified in court documents only as C.T.P.-B, is charged with first-degree intentional homicide and two counts of sexual assault. He is being held in a juvenile detention center on $1 million cash bond. Anyone who is at least 10 years old and is accused of first- or second-degree homicide is considered an adult in Wisconsin's court system.
Iliana Peters, who was known as Lily, disappeared the night of April 24 as she was riding her bike home from her aunt's house in Chippewa Falls, according to the criminal complaint. Searchers found her body the next morning. The boy told investigators that he was riding his hoverboard alongside Lily on a trail and he intended to sexually assault and kill her, according to the complaint. He told investigators that after he persuaded her to leave the trail, he punched her, hit her with a heavy stick and strangled her until she died, then sexually assaulted her body, according to the complaint.Copyright © 2022 by The Associated Press.
