One family is revealing their heartbreaking tragedy after their little child was killed in the most horrifying act of crime recently.

According to reports from local media outlets, a young judo star from Russia was set ablaze and left to die inside a shed by his fellow competitors.

Sources further revealed how so many children grew envious of his hard work and talent and therefore felt the need to come up with this heinous plan.

The 11-year-old star was burned alive after being drenched in petrol and locked inside a shed. Older kids then set it on fire as he cried and pleaded for help but it was all in vain. There was no one to help him and he died in the most tragic manner, sources have now confirmed.

As you can imagine, the incident has resulted in widespread shock and grief with the family calling for justice for their talented loved one that had done nothing to deserve this kind of behavior.

On the other hand, investigations are now taking place at an all-time high as officials in Moscow trying to figure out why exactly so much hate had developed against a child that was so talented and loving.

Meanwhile, one witness mentioned how the kids even made use of bats to badly bruise and beat him.

Once they were sure that he was unable to make a move for it and remained in an unconscious state, they covered him in petrol and set him ablaze.

One other person who chose not to be named said there was so much envy surrounding him because of his success. He was just too good and stood out in the crowd for his incredible talent.

And that was not something that people were willing to tolerate.
