White Kid Confesses to Drowning Black Boy in Construction Pit

By greatbritton


After a chilling four-month investigation, the suspect behind the drowning of an 8-year-old Black boy in Georgia has finally come forth with a confession. Sadly, the suspect is not much older than the victim.

Back in May, Noah Bush mysteriously disappeared after going with an 11-year-old and 10-year-old to a restricted construction site in Wayne County, police said. The day after his family reported him missing, police said discovered his remains in the borrow pits by the construction site, which was filled with water. Authorities originally ruled Noah’s death to be an accident, assuming he’d taken off his shoes and slipped into the deep of the pit.

However, his family claimed that story didn’t add up because he was afraid of deep water, per WSBTV. The report says they then hired an attorney to privately investigate their suspicion that the white kids with whom Noah wandered off targeted him in a racially motivated attack.

“This is the consequence when you don’t stand against hate,’ said attorney Francys Johnson per DailyMail.

Later, his cause of death was determined to be homicide by drowning, the report says. The Brunswick Judicial Circuit District Attorney then decided there was probable cause to arrest the two boys.

Thursday, after three months of investigation and trials, a hearing for the 11-year-old, charged already with involuntary manslaughter and simple battery, unveiled the truth behind Noah Bush’s death.

“This 11-year-old admitted under oath that he, in fact, led Noah Bush down to the clay pits, pushing him into the water, and ultimately held his head under that water until he drowned,” said Francys Johnson, a law partner with the Davis Bozeman Johnson Law group.

A Wayne County judge ordered the 10-year-old to two years of confinement on charges of concealing the death of another and criminal trespassing and ordered the 11-year-old who confessed to serve a two year sentence in a detention facility.

They’re not the only ones facing punishment: The report says the 11-year-old’s mother was also placed in police custody for giving false statements to the police about what happened to Noah.

“This is not the end. The adults who were involved, who helped mislead this family, must be prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law as well,” said Mawuli Mel Davis, founding partner of the Davis Bozeman Johnson Law Group, via WSBTV.
