In a horrifying case that has rocked the Netherlands, a 15-year-old girl who identified as a boy before insisting she was a dog is accused of stabbing her parents to death, knifing her pet golden retriever, and then sharing bloody photos of the murders with her classmates.

The Sun reports: “The teen from Groningen in the Netherlands would regularly identify as a dog and used to ‘crawl around on all fours and bark while running through the school corridors,’ concerned friends said.”

“You could see both of her parents lying on the ground with their eyes open. Her father was lying on the floor, and her mother was on the bed. There was blood visible and a knife,” one student claimed.

“Some pupils said she wanted to be addressed as ‘he’ while others said she identified as a dog. Some also said she had not been at school for a long period.”

“Neighbors described the family as loving and kind but told the AD they had seen the girl running down the street late at night, or sitting silently on top of the roof of the shed.

“She was always strange and kept herself to herself,” neighbor Heleen told the paper.

“As yet it is unclear how the police were alerted to the deaths. Locals have suggested the girl herself made the call but others have said it was a school friend who received the photos via WhatsApp.”
