Brooklyn, NY - The Brooklyn man accused of murdering and dismembering 8 year old boy Leiby Kletzky of Borough Park this summer was back in court this morning.

THE ACCUSED KILLER IN HIS OWN WORDS (EDITED)

This transcript has been edited to remove parts of an extremely graphic nature. It has not been edited for clarity. These are the suspect's words as written on a legal pad by detectives during questioning, according to law enforcement sources.  

"My name is Levi Aron... On Monday evening around 5:30 I went to my dentist, Dr. Sorcher, to make a payment for visit for exam routine. A boy approached me on where the Judaica book store was.  He was still there when went out from the dentist’s office. He asked me for a ride to the Judaica book store.  While on the way he changed his mind and wasn’t sure where he wanted to go.

So I asked if he wanted to go for the ride -- wedding in Monsey -- since I didn’t think I was going to stay for the whole thing since my back was hurting.  He said ok.
Due to traffic, I got back around 11:30 p.m. … so I brought him to my house thinking I’d bring him to his house the next day. He watched TV then fell asleep in the front room. I went to the middle room to sleep. That next morning, he was still sleeping when I was ready to leave.
So I woke him and told him I’ll bring him to his house… when I saw the flyers I panicked and was afraid.  When I got home he was still there so I made him a tuna sandwich....
I was still in a panic...and afraid to bring him home.  That is when approximately I went for a towel to smother him in the side room.   
He fought back a little bit until eventually he stopped breathing.
Afterwards -- I panicked because I didn’t know what to do with the body.… carried parts to the back room placing parts between the freezer and the refrigerator …
… went to clean up a little then took a second shower.  I panicked and .. Then putting the parts in a suitcase.  Then carrying suitcase to the car …placing in backseat on floor behind passenger side.
 … drove around approximately around 20 minutes before placing it in the dumpster on 20th street just before 4th Avenue.Then went home to clean and organize.
I understand this may be wrong and I’m sorry for the hurt that I have caused".

Poor Leiby Was Drugged- UPDATED JULY 20
POOR LEIBY KLETZKY WAS DRUGGED BEFORE MURDERED- UPDATED JULY 20- The animal had enough presence of mind to systematically drug this innocent 8 year old child. Yet his lawyers now maintain that the animal is insane, hears voices, and cannot be held responsible for his actions. BULLSHIT!!! He knew what he was doing and went about murdering this little child by following a planned process of events, including drugging this poor child before strangling him.   The corrupt Legal process in our Country does not provide rights for victims, not even 8 yr. old children who are tortured, murdered, and dismembered. NYPD has just discovered many other clothes of children in this animals house. They are now re-digging up his back and front yard for bodies, evidence.  The "voices" the animal hears can be manipulated by his slimy lawyers for an insanity plea to have him sent to a psychiatric institution, and not prison. Who will speak up for the child, who will stop the insanity of law that lets murders of all kinds go free, or escape punishment. We will see!                                BURIAL OF LEIBY KLETZKY                  FATHER SPEAKING AT FUNERAL CEREMONY
 
WHY DOES MY HEART FEEL SO BAD
 
10,000 MOURNERS GATHER FOR FUNERAL
LIFE IS CHEAP!  
More insensitive hyped media fodder for the TV talking heads who couldn't care less about human life. But to some of us it produces the thoughts that whose child of any age is safe in the jungle of sub human animals we now inhabit?    This is happening almost every day now to some one else's family. The refrain of that's horrible and the secret thoughts of " at least it's not my child" and then people go on with their regular lives, quickly forgetting until the next killing happens, later today, tomorrow, or another day, doesn't work any longer.
We have reached the doomed stage as a society where the above refrain won't protect you or your family any longer. You can believe it will, but so did all these other victims families who never thought it would happen to them.    This is the same as the killing of my son Steven, the murder of my father Samuel, all by others who never have shown a single shred of a feeling, not a hint of conscience, living their lives as if they have no accountability, no soul, no responsibility for stealing a human life by horrific acts, also killing the families of these victims who will never heal, never be whole again.
This is the world of the " civilized modern" 21st Century, a place where we are in reality, no better off than hundreds of years ago when there were no laws to follow and survival of the fittest ruled the human chain of life.    Today this human survival of the fittest has retrogressed backwards to the scum of the earth, murderers, killers, indifferent "regular" "people who cover up their negligence in killing innocent human beings such as my son Steven, and all others who make up the rules of life, as they reproduce in epidemic proportions as an insane society at all levels.
I promise to honor the memory of murdered 8 year old Leiby Kletzky. I will continue to post on my Blog, all stories related to this tragedy until the case is closed.
Those who do the killing, along with the dysfunctional , inept legal system, shoddy law enforcement, corrupt immoral governments, politicians only interested in their own personal gain, Corporations of greed, disgusting media using these horrors to glorify themselves at the expense of tragedy, and on and on, yes, they all contribute to this chain of what our society has become, a CESSPOOL, toxic  and fatal. 
Our World is such a sick place of EVIL! An 8 year old boy now, every day a new horrific insanity of those who prey on others, especially animals who kill little children. Another innocent child who did nothing wrong, just walking only 7 short blocks to his home from Camp, in the middle of a beautiful sunny summer afternoon day.
Beyond believable but now all too common. What has our world come to, at this point and WHY????
Just an 8 year old kid, Leiby Kletsky and he knew what was happening to him, such unimaginable terror, pain for him. 
The animal started to strangle him with a towel. Leiby tried to fight back, imagine that tiny 8 year old child resisting, fighting back against this large animal. 
Think of what this child's mind felt, the terror, fear, and his last breaths on this earth.  
This was his first time walking home. His parents had carefully instructed him on the directions many times the day before.
In spite of those directions, he still became confused in all the excitement of his first day walking home from camp, with his backpack neatly held over the shoulder, thinking happy thoughts of his day at camp, of his upcoming 9th birthday next week, and then he suddenly realized that he was lost. 
This innocent, trusting child asked a "person" on the street to help him find his way home, and believes when told, that he will be driven home by car to his loving parents.
A crowded street with neighborhood people all around him. Of all the people on that street, why is it that this predator is the one that is picked to help this lost 8 year old? 
Why is it that a second more or less he could have picked a human being, or didn't go into a store for help? Fate, random matrices, it is meant to be, some god willed this to be, NO, these are just excuses to make people feel better, an attempt to understand what is truly unfathomable.
Yes you should cry, "this is some one else's" child is the way people DON'T deal with the horror. NO ONES child of any age is safe in the jungle we now inhabit. These killings are happening every day, and it has become "normal" to read about it. How can this be normal??? 
Whether it's my Steven, my father, the Caley Anthony toddler killed, another College student murdered, or anyone, it is now accepted as normal??? How can that be? 
This is about the ugliness of reality, the cheapness placed on a human life by the entire society that sighs, and then thinks " at least its not my kid" and believes that it is "just one of those things". 
A doomed, sick, selfish society with no justice to be served, no moral compass to follow, that even fails to try helping the living children in need, let alone the innocent victims of all ages who are dead. 
There will be no birthday gifts next week for little Leiby Kletsky, only a cold, dark grave, where victims go away forever.

'Little Leiby put up a fight but had no chance - his feet were tied up': Police reveal brutal details of eight-year-old Hasidic boy's final moments - and say killer hasn't yet revealed the whole truth

  • Hasidic child abducted on his way home from camp 'put up a fight' while tied down and suffocated, police say

  • Ordered to undergo psychological tests after his lawyer said he 'hears voices'

  • Aron arraigned in court today after police found child's butchered remains in a fridge and a dumpster
  • Thousands mourn at emotional funeral service in Brooklyn
By Paul Bentley and Fiona Roberts-Daily Mail.U.K   The innocent Hasidic child brutally murdered by a stranger he asked for directions bravely fought as he was tied down and suffocated by his captor, it has emerged. Eight-year-old Leiby Kletzky was abducted by 35-year-old Levi Aron while walking home alone for the first time from a day camp in Brooklyn on Monday afternoon, sparking a city-wide police search. After losing his way on the seven-block walk home, the child asked the older man to help him - a most cruel chance encounter which led to him being kidnapped, suffocated and dismembered with a kitchen knife. But in his final moments the brave child fought for his life, police have revealed, scratching Aron while tied down with a rope and smothered with a bath towel.

Missing: Leibby Kletzky was reportedly last seen after leaving the Boyan Day Camp on 44th Street at around 5 pm Monday.
Hasidic boy is named Levi Aron, a 35-year-old who worked recently as a licensed security guard.
How could he? Levi Aron, right, is being held after police found eight-year-old Leiby's dismembered body
As thousands took to the streets of Brooklyn to mourn the death of the young child, Police Commissioner Raymond Kelly said Aron had cuts on his arms and wrists - evidence Leiby had tried to fight him off. 'There are marks on his body,' Kelly said, adding that it was 'reasonable to say' this indicated a struggle. It was a fight the child could never have won, however, as marks on Leiby's ankles indicated he had been restrained with rope. Aron has denied sexually molesting the child but has offered no other understandable motive for the murder, according to police. He  was last night under psychological evaluation and suicide watch in prison. 'In this business, you see a lot of violence. Here, it defies all logic. That's what is so disturbing about this case,' Mr Kelly said. 'It's heartbreaking.' Aron, who once worked as a butcher, told police in graphic detail how he suffocated Leiby with a bath towel in a panic before cutting up his remains. 'I understand it may be wrong, and I am sorry for the hurt I have caused,' he wrote in a hand-written statement. At the Kletzky household, his family were looking for answers. 'Why?' asked Shmuel Eckstein, a close family friend, as the boy's parents and five sisters sat and prayed. 'We don't have that ... What we know is that through Leiby's death, God is sending us a huge signal - that we're doing something terribly wrong. And we're looking for what it is.' He added that the family was not looking for retribution. 'We're not into revenge,' he said.

He is said to have remained detached throughout police interviews, showing 'no remorse' and at times even giggling when speaking to investigators, Mr Kelly said. Today in court for arraignment, Aron was ordered to undergo a psychological evaluation after his lawyer told a judge he might be mentally ill. 'He has indicated to me that he hears voices and has had some hallucinations,' attorney Pierre Bazile said. Brooklyn District Attorney Charles Hynes said he plans to charge Aron with felony murder and was also investigating whether he might have had any improper contact with children in the past. As he was led out from the courthouse holding pens, other inmates screamed obscenities at Aron. Authorities doubt much of Aron's explanation for his actions. He claimed he offered to give Leiby a lift to a book store in his car but ended up taking the boy to a wedding in upstate Monsey as a treat.

He said they got back late 'so I brought him to my house, thinking I'd bring him to his house the next day'. After realising the extent to which the search had gained momentum the next day he then 'panicked', made Leiby a tuna sandwich and smothered him with a bath towel, he said. 'He fought back a little,' he wrote. 'Afterwards, I panicked because I didn't know what to do with the body.' Police, however, believe the boy was killed on Monday, rather than Tuesday. Officers have reviewed videotape from the wedding reception in Monsey and interviewed guests, but there is no suggestion Leiby was taken there, Kelly said. They are now digging up his yard in an attempt to find more evidence he may have tried to conceal. Police said Aron had shaved in an effort to 'clean up' and alter his appearance after murdering Leiby.

The 35-year-old's only previous criminal conviction was for public urination last year. His former wife took out an order of protection against him in 2007, during their divorce, but withdrew it later. Cops are now also looking into a report that he allegedly tried to force another child into his car last year. That boy's mother, however, said she thought Aron was just being 'friendly' by offering the lift. Aron's lawyer, Pierre Bazile, said, simply: 'Our condolences go out to the family of the victim. We'll let the judicial system take its course.' 10,000 mourners lined the streets of Brooklyn last night for Leiby's highly emotional funeral. The huge crowds parted in silence as his casket was carried aloft to the service, just hours after his dismembered body was found in a fridge and a dumpster. Shocked and grieving members of the close-knit Hasidic community spilled out into the neighbouring streets as they listened to a moving address from Leiby's father, Nachman.

Leiby's funeral was due to start at 8.30pm yesterday, but it was delayed until 9pm as thousands of mourners, dressed in traditional Hasidic black clothes, streamed in to pay their last respects. As the narrow courtyard outside a temple school filled to capacity, mourners spilled out into the surrounding streets, with men and women separated according to Hasidic custom. They gathered behind police barricades as NYPD officers and members of local security patrol group, the Shomrim, kept order. As Leiby's grieving family arrived, an officer said: 'We need to separate like the Red Sea so the family can get through'. His sisters and mothers arrived first, then men carried Leiby's casket high above the crowd. The casket, covered in a black shawl, rested on a podium during the half-hour service, which was conducted in Hebrew and Yiddish. Three rabbis spoke, thanking God for a 'beautiful child' with a 'beautiful soul'. Then his father delivered an emotional address to the gathered crowds.  Gripping the podium for support, he thanked God for the nine years he had spent with his only son, the New York  Daily News reports. He said: 'God gives and God takes. Thank you God, for giving you to us for nine years. We have to thank you for what You gave us.

Others who spoke at the funeral repeatedly broke down in tears. The women in Leiby's family sat at the front, with their heads covered and pain marked on their faces. One mourner, Leah Rosenberg, told the New York Times: 'We feel like we lost one of our own. He was everybody’s child.' According to Hasidic custom, Leiby's funeral was held just hours after his body was found by police, a day and a half after he went missing. Police found half of Leiby's body - including his severed feet - in a refrigerator at Aron's home which they raided in Kensington, not far from where the boy was last seen. When police raided Aron's apartment and asked where Leiby was, he nodded to the refrigerator. Officers saw blood on the handle and three carving knives inside. Some of the boy's remains were in the freezer. Officers were then led by Aron to the rest of the body parts, which had been hidden in a suitcase in a dumpster in Greenwood Heights. Authorities said Leiby was abducted on his first day walking home by himself.

When the dad, reviewed the earlier video footage, "He had tears in his eyes," said Moishe Lefkovitz, the manager of the locksmith shop at 44th Street and 15th Avenue where the surveillance footage was taken. "He kept shaking his head, saying, 'Where are you going? Where are you going? What are you doing?' "

  Mr Kelly added: 'This was an horrendous crime. We extend our deepest condolences with the Kletzky family.' The boy was abducted by 35-year-old Levi Aron while walking home alone for the first time from the Brooklyn-based Boyan Day Camp on 44th Street on Monday afternoon, sparking a city-wide police search. After losing his way on the seven-block walk home, the child asked the older man to help him - a most cruel chance encounter which led to him being kidnapped, suffocated and dismembered with a kitchen knife. When police tracked him down, Aron confessed to the brutal murder, saying he killed the child 'in a panic' after the search for the boy became high-profile.

He said he had originally intended to take the boy home the following day after taking him on a trip to a wedding upstate - a story police say they do not believe. Police said Leiby stopped Aron to ask for directions after getting lost the first time he was allowed to walk home alone from summer camp. 35 minutes later Leiby was in a 1990 brown Honda Accord with Levi Aron, who subsequently brought the boy to his apartment, killed him there and then dismembered his body,' Police Commissioner Raymond Kelly said.   'He had asked his parents’ permission to walk home alone and the parents were waiting outside'.  'Leiby appeared to be lost. He encountered Aron and asked him for directions. It was just happenstance, and a terrible fate for this young boy.' Police Commissioner Kelly said Aron had confessed to the murder, telling investigators he panicked and killed the boy once the search for the boy became so high-profile. NYPD PRESS CONFERENCE
Aron, who works as a clerk in Kensington, was seized by police after he was spotted with the child on CCTV.   Footage showed Aron enter a dentist's office while the boy waited for him on the street, before he re-emerged and led Leiby to his car. Detectives eventually managed to source the man's address after retrieving patient records from the practice, but by the time they raided his home, Leiby had been killed.

Aron is divorced and has no children, although he did look after his former wife's children from her previous marriage. His ex-wife spoke today of her complete disbelief at what Aron is said to have done to the child.'I am in shock. I am not believing this,' Debbie Kivel, 34, told The Post. 'He loved children. He loved kids. My kids are now 13 and 10, but when we were married they were younger – and he loved them.' The former couple met online, married in 2006 but split up a year later because of a 'clash of character,' she said, adding, of their relationship: 'It was more like brother sister.'Her father, Michael Kivel, was more damning about his former son-in-law.

He did what he did and then went home. He was creepy person,' he said. 'I gather he went to the Hebrew School, but wasn’t smart enough and dropped out.' Aron worked as a stock clerk so spent most of his time in the back of the store, with little interaction with customers.

'As far as the shop goes, we’re just shell shocked,' Lowy told the Wall Street Journal. 'If there was anyway to stop this…But you know, we are [an] equal opportunity employer. He wanted a job, we gave the guy work. But we serve the community. This is awful.'   Another of his co-worker said: 'I can't believe this. He was a strange guy but he was here yesterday and he was fine after killing this little boy.' The suspect's Facebook page revealed he is a practiser of Kabbalah who enjoys playing computer games such as Farmville. In a cruel irony, he had also joined a group titled 'IS YOUR FAMILY SAFE? Find out who really lives in your area!' - dedicated to exposing local rapists and child molesters. Community Rabbi Bernard Freilich told WNBC Leiby's parents are totally 'devastated'  after having been informed that his body had been recovered. Assemblyman Dov Hikind today confirmed the body which had been found was that of the missing child.   'I've never seen a community feel more depression than they are at the moment,' he told NY1. 'Whoever did this is sick beyond belief.'Hikind said the suspected killer is Jewish.'It’s just a horror for every parent,' he added, speaking to CBS. 'It’s just a tragedy today for everyone in New York.
