GUILTY WA - Ben Eastman, 16, raped and murdered, Lewis County, 23 Jun 2018

And now I just went back to the first page reading posts, and absolutely disgusted!!! Those people are not normal humans.

Absolutely evil.

Yes indeed, it's evil. Why so cruel? Did the brothers hate this young man for some reason? Were they on a dare? Or are they just that mean, especially when they are together? Were they drug-crazed when they attacked him? Is this going to turn into a hate crime?

Initially, charges were 2nd degree murder until the suspects revealed more details amping up the charges to aggravated 1st degree murder -- it was premeditated. I'm so glad they apprehended them quickly! It's mind numbing how a childhood 'friend' could invite you to go camping, and without warning viciously murder you. These are outdoor kids just beginning summer vacation. Makes you wonder if the 21 year old suspect may have had some control over his younger brother, given the 5 year age span. 5 years a lot when you're in high school. If not hate crime, they wanted to silence Ben. Sick, sick, sick...

I am against the death penalty, but in this case I''l make an exception. For both of them.

I am pro DP and it exists for unspeakable crimes against fellow human beings... just like this.

Is there social media for these perps? Anything at all about them 'out there'?

I have intentionally not looked. Sometimes... it's just better not to.

What on earth was the motive here? I sure hope the family gets some answers.

If you check Benny's FB page, you'll see what family members say the motive is.

I do not use facebook -- if someone could enlighten me, I would really appreciate it. What do the family members think about the motive? Thanks, much!

This is horrible beyond belief. Heinous.

How on earth can someone who has been "friends for years" commit such evil against his friend?

May strength and comfort hold Ben's family close during this inexplicably difficult time.

Oftentimes, what one won't do by himself, two will. I do think they planned it together, and each gave the other the "bravado" to do the horrible things they did. And now they are in big, big trouble. I'd like to ask each brother, now and in 25 years, "Was it worth it?" SMH.

What a waste of a young man's life -- who knows what good things Ben might have done in his lifetime? And now those who loved him have a big hole in their hearts.
