MITO -- Two junior high school boys are accused of fatally hitting eight birds including swans near a lake here late last month, police said.

Local police have sent an investigation report to prosecutors, accusing a 15-year-old, third-year junior high school student living in Mito of violating the Wildlife Protection and Hunting Law. The other, a 13-year-old, second-year student, has been reported to a child consultation center.

They admitted to the allegations during questioning. "It was a thrill to kill the birds as they resisted by spreading their wings," one of them was quoted as telling investigators.

The names of the two boys, who attend the same junior high school in Mito, are being withheld under the Juvenile Law.

The two brutally hit eight birds, including swans, to death along the north shore of Lake Senba in Mito between 1 and 2:30 a.m. on April 28, investigators allege.

They also admitted to killing seven other birds near the lake on April 17, but police will not file accusations against them over that case for lack of evidence.
