Teen admits to vicious machete attack near Edmonton

EDMONTON – A teenager who viciously assaulted a 14-year-old boy with a machete in a community south of Edmonton last June has pleaded guilty to two of three charges laid against him.

Court was told both boys were in a gang and were driving around Beaumont in stolen vehicles trying to steal from unlocked cars.

The boys stopped near a construction site, where the accused, who is now 16, admits to hitting Braydon Heather with a machete.

The victim was in a coma for around two weeks following the assault.
