FUQUAY-VARINA, North Carolina (WRAL) — On the day he allegedly killed his sister and seriously injured his brother, a Fuquay-Varina teen told his friend, “I did it.”
Jackson Borrello is charged with the murder of his 12-year-old sister, Clara, and assaulting his 9-year-old brother in February.
A newly released search warrant indicates Borrello FaceTimed a friend and told him, “I did it. I did something, and you’ll find out.” The friend called 911 over concerns Borrello was going to harm himself.
WRAL reported about the 911 calls after Borrello’s father came home to find his two children inside.
“I just got home and my kids are bloody. They are on the floor. I think my other son did it, he’s gone, I can’t believe this is happening.”
Investigators found a knife and hammer near the children’s bodies, according to the search warrants. Both children were transported to WakeMed where Clara died. The report indicates, Borrello’s 9-year-old brother was in critical condition. There have been no updates about his condition.
Search warrants also show investigators seized a number of items including, electronics from Borrello’s home, his father’s work laptop, notebooks and electronics from Borrello’s friends.
When looking into his background, Borrello was involved in death metal band called Devoured Carcass. A bandmate of Borrello’s is who first called 911.
