Monitoring Eases for 2 Charged in Killing

A judge ordered electronic monitoring devices removed from the legs of two young boys charged in the death of an 11-year-old girl. Judge William Hibbler said the boys, ages 7 and 8, accused of killing Ryan Harris on Chicago’s South Side last month may leave home only under adult supervision. Ryan had been struck in the head, sexually molested and suffocated. Police said the boys killed Ryan for her bicycle. Police said the boys confessed to the killing. The boys had been ordered confined to their homes with the monitors to keep track of their whereabouts.
