Fact or Fiction?

I've become obsessed with a particular news story that happened just over the summer and am constantly looking for more details without success. The story is about a 17 year old boy who allegedly stabbed and murdered his father on June 25. The boy then lived with the corpse in the house before eventually cutting up the body to fit in a bag and drive the remains two hours away to bury. This boy is from the area of Charleswood in Winnipeg, which is home to a lot of my friends, and 10 minutes from where I live . The rumor going around, is the boy who did this is the same boy who sat right behind me for my last semester in high school. According to this rumor I spent an hour everyday, five days a week, with a murder staring at the back of my head. I don't know how accurate the rumor is because the police aren't allowed to release names until he's 18. It's an awful story. It's scary to think what the people around you are going to do with their lives. Some may do great things, others horrendous things, or maybe others spread vile rumors. I hope for the sake of this boy that he wasn't involved in this crime, but I can't help searching for more information everyday to learn the truth.
