Two middle school girls in central Florida were caught before they could carry out their plan to murder their fellow classmates, cut up their bodies, and drink their blood as well as eat their flesh.

Police officials said that on Oct. 23, the girls, aged 11 and 12, brought knives to school in order to execute their plot. The two girls were arrested at Bartow Middle School that day upon being caught with the weapons in the school’s bathroom and have now been charged with conspiring to commit first-degree murder.

According to police, the girls’ plan was to set up in the bathroom and wait for smaller students to enter, at which point they intended to slit their throats and drink their blood as well as consume their flesh.

The girls, who reportedly admitted to authorities that they are Satanists, then planned to stab themselves after they had completed their murder plot. Detectives say that the girls came up with the plot after watching “scary” movies over the weekend.

“The plan was to kill at least 1 student but were hoping to kill anywhere from 15-25 students,” the affidavit said. “Killing all of these students was in hopes it would make them worse sinners ensuring that after they committed suicide … (they) would go to hell so they could be with Satan.”

Their plan was foiled after a robocall was made to the parents of one of the girls, alerting them that she was missing from class. The child’s mother then called the school, which is when school officials went searching for her and found the two girls in the bathroom.

They were sent to the principal’s office after they were found with a butcher knife, a kitchen knife, a pizza cutter, and a goblet.

The girls were subsequently arrested and charged with conspiracy to commit murder, possession of a weapon on school property, carrying a concealed weapon, and disruption of a school function, Bartow Police Chief Joe Hall said during a news conference.

Detectives searched the homes of the girls and discovered what is allegedly a hand-drawn map of the school with the phrase “go to kill in bathroom” written on it. Detectives also discovered incriminating exchanges on the girls’ phones, one of which read: “We will leave body parts at the entrance and then we will kill ourselves.”

Upon their arrest, the girls were sent to a juvenile detention center. Deputy Police Chief Bryan Dorman said that it will be up to prosecutors to decide whether the girls will be charged as juveniles or adults.

According to Human Rights Watch, the juvenile court system aims to rehabilitate children that have committed crimes with the purpose of re-introducing them into society. Criminal courts, on the other hand, focus on punishment.

If the girls end up being prosecuted as adults, they may face jail time in an adult prison and have a criminal record for the rest of their lives — all before being of legal age to buy cigarettes, drink alcohol, and vote in an election.
