Philip Chism, 14, murder suspect - student
Haven't seen anything regarding a possible motive yet, but it's confirmed that Chism was a student of Colleen Ritzer.
Snip from Daily Mail article:
Surveillance footage reportedly shows Philip Chism, 14, dragging a recycling bin with 24-year-old Colleen Ritzer's body through the halls of Danvers High School Tuesday night then dumping her remains in the woods near campus.
WCVB-TV reports that after the gruesome killing Chism walked to the nearest movie theater and watched 'Blue Jasmine,' a movie about a middle-aged woman's mental breakdown.
Ritzer's a beloved math teacher at Danvers High was reported missing after she didn't come home after classes ended Tuesday night. When police went to her school, they found a second-floor bathroom covered in her blood.
The teacher's students flooded social media with an outpouring of grief over the murder, describing her as dedicated and bright.
Chism appeared in court Wednesday afternoon, where he was charged as an adult and formally accused of beating Ritzer to death Tuesday night.
The boy's attorney requested a mental health evaluation for the teen and suggested she would argue that he was not mentally competent to stand trial. He was held without bail.
