Tests Set for Young Slaying Suspects

The question of how two boys, aged 7 and 8, could be murder suspects lingered as the boys, among the youngest murder suspects ever in Chicago, were ordered to undergo psychiatric evaluation. Both are charged in the July death of Ryan Harris, 11, who was struck in the head, sexually molested and suffocated. Neighbors in the South Side community of Englewood, where the boys lived, described the 7-year-old as an aggressive child who earned spare change doing yard work or helping out in the local grocery. The 8-year-old, an honor student, was so shy that he rarely left his yard, neighbors said.
