If they find it was intentional, they would find the child guilty of murder.” The Benbrook girl, who is being held in a Tarrant County juvenile detention center, admitted last week that she shot and killed Kerry Ann Thomas and hid her friend’s body in her back yard, where it was found four days later. The suspect, after confronted with mounting evidence, admitted last Wednesday she had killed her friend with a shotgun on Sept. 8, but said it was an accident. A single blast from a shotgun struck Kerry in the face and killed her instantly as she drank from a glass of milk at the suspect’s surbur- ban Fort Worth home, police said. The suspect dragged the body out of the house and into the back yard to a hedgerow behind the house, po lice said. Authorities said she had in tended to dig a grave, but the ground was too hard so she covered the the body with vinyl, wood and a laundry basket. Police and neighbors mounted an extensive search after the suspect told the victim’s mother Kerry had decided not to spend the entire weekend and had left for home on Saturday. Drago said the case was unusual because of the ages of the children involved. He said the suspect, if found guilty, could receive up to a year’s probation, be placed in the custody of her family or other relatives or placed in a foster home or detention center.
