Reports insisted the two tweens friends were playing and mouthing possession of bulletproof charms.

According to an eyewitness, the deceased had boasted about having spiritual bulletproof and challenged his 10-year-old friend to shoot him.

The 10-year-old then ran into his grandfather’s room, retrieved a pistol, and fired shots at his friend, resulting in his death.

The owner of the pistol, an ex-serviceman, was not present at the time of the incident.

Following the shooting, the 10-year-old abandoned the gun and fled the scene.

A community source said:
