PHILADELPHIA — A Philadelphia man is charged with murdering a 15-
year-old girl and setting her body on fire after they met on
Facebook, according to WPVI.
Cole Swaringer-Herring, 23, faces murder, arson and other
charges in connection with the death of Sabriya McLean.
According to police, the suspect met McLean in person on Monday
night after the two were reportedly communicating on Facebook.
The suspect confessed to his parents, according to WPVI. After
the suspect’s parents contacted police, responding officers
found the victim’s body under a pile of leaves.
“It was a very violent act so we’re looking at him in connection
to some other possible cases that we’ve had,” Capt. Jack Ryan
told WPVI.
Capt. Ryan told CBS Philly Herring burned the victim’s body
before hiding it under leaves. The suspect faces “abuse of a
corpse” charges in addition to murder charges.
The suspect’s motive is not yet known. The investigation is
ongoing.
