An eight-year-old Hasidic boy whose dismembered body was found in a fridge and a dumpster was brutally killed after getting lost and asking a man to help him get home.

Leiby Kletzky was allegedly abducted by 35-year-old Levi Aron while walking home alone for the first time from the Brooklyn-based Boyan Day Camp on 44th Street on Monday afternoon, sparking a city-wide police search.
After losing his way on the seven block walk home, the child asked the older man to help him - a most cruel chance encounter which led to him being kidnapped, suffocated and dismembered with a kitchen knife.

After being tracked down by police, Aron is said to have confessed to the brutal murder, saying he killed the child 'in a panic' after the search for the boy became high profile.

Police said Leiby stopped Aron to ask for directions after getting lost the first time he was allowed to walk home alone from summer camp.

'35 minutes later Leiby was in a 1990 brown Honda Accord with Levi Aron, who subsequently brought the boy to his apartment, killed him there and then dismembered his body,' Police Commissioner Raymond Kelly said.
'Leiby appeared to be lost. He encountered Aron and asked him for directions. It was just happenstance, and a terrible fate for this young boy.'
Aron, who works as a clerk in Kensington, was seized by police after he was spotted with the child on CCTV.

Footage showed Aron enter a dentist's office while the boy waited for him on the street, before he re-emerged and led Leiby to his car.
Detectives eventually managed to source the man's address after retrieving patient records from the practice, but by the time they raided his home, Leiby had been killed.

Police Commissioner Kelly said Aron had confessed to the murder, telling investigators he panicked and killed the boy once the search for the boy became so high profile.
