The murderer who dismembered an eight-year old Orthodox Jewish Brooklyn, NY boy one month ago has admitted to the heinous crime, but won’t say he’s sorry. The boy, Leiby Kletzky, had been missing for two days in early July, when his body was found in a refrigerator and in a suitcase in the upstairs attic apartment of Levi Aron. The boy reportedly had asked his parents if he could walk home from school for the first time. Police said they had found no evidence of sexual molestation.

The child was the only boy in a family of six children.
The most the New York Daily News was able to get from an interview with 35-year old Levi Aron was, “I don’t know what happened, I just panicked.”
Asked repeatedly if he wanted to apologize, the confessed child killer kept looking away and remained silent. At one point, he nodded his head, but would not say he was sorry.
Aron, 35, never once spoke the name of Leiby Kletzky, the Hasidic 8-year-old who approached him for help and wound up slaughtered.
He referred to the moment when he smothered the boy and carved him up as “the incident.”
Aron repeatedly answered, “I don’t know” to questions about what he did – and why.
“I remember little things,” he said without elaborating.
Leiby lost his way last month – the first day he was allowed to walk home from day camp alone. He stopped Aron for help.
Aron told cops he took the boy to a wedding in upstate Monsey and brought him home, meaning to take him home the next day. But after leaving for work at the hardware store around the corner, Aron said, he got spooked by missing child posters and went home to kill the boy.
