A 13-year-old Victorian boy is one of eight teenagers to have been committed to stand trial for the murder of Declan Cutler, after a magistrate decided that, despite his youth, he was capable of forming a criminal intent.
The magistrate ruled that she did not have to read an 1,100-page report on whether the 13-year-old, who cannot be named, could be found not to have that mental capacity, known as the doli incapax principle.
