13-year-old accused of murdering boy, 5, 'with bowling ball'

The authorities allege a 13-year-old North Texas boy facing a murder charge used a bowling ball to fatally beat a five-year-old boy.

The Fort Worth Star-Telegram reports that authorities say the teen has confessed to the death.

The teen’s name is being withheld because he is a juvenile.

He was arrested on Thursday over the death of Sida Osman, whose body was found the previous day near his home.
