Warrant: 'I did it' Fuquay-Varina teen accused of killing his sister admits to friend over FaceTime

On the day he allegedly killed his sister and seriously injured his brother, a Fuquay-Varina teen told his friend, “I did it.”

Jackson Borrello is charged with the murder of his 12-year-old sister, Clara, and assaulting his 9-year-old brother in February.

A newly released search warrant indicates Borrello FaceTimed a friend and told him, “I did it.” The friend called 911 over concerns Borrello was going to harm himself.

WRAL reported about the 911 calls after Borrello’s father came home to find his two children inside.

“I just got home and my kids are bloody. They are on the floor. I think my other son did it, he’s gone, I can’t believe this is happening.”

Investigators found a knife and hammer near the children’s bodies, according to the search warrant. Both children were transported to WakeMed where Clara died. The report indicates, Borrello’s 9-year-old brother was in critical condition. There have been no updates about his condition.

When looking into his background, Borrello was involved in death metal band called Devoured Carcass.

Borrello’s next court date is scheduled for Aug. 6 for a status hearing.
