Defence will argue that there was no intention to harm the child when they took him from the garden.

Not enough 'true' facts about the case to be able to apply the law, there's only what is being released by the press to go on but putting a ligature around his neck, that will take some convincing by the defence to a jury that the kids couldn't forsee any harm coming to the boy .
