Sniper accused says shootings were well planned

JOHN LEE MALVO, the 17-year-old accused of a series of sniper attacks that terrorised the Washington DC suburbs, has admitted during a seven-hour interrogation that he carried out some of the killings, it was reported yesterday.

The Washington Post, citing sources, said Malvo provided details about several of the killings, and admitted shooting FBI analyst Linda Franklin on October 14.

Malvo had already been charged with capital murder in the case, and was being interviewed after being moved to Fairfax County, Virginia, where he will be tried.
