A teenager has been charged as an adult after police claim he killed another young person and confessed on an Instagram video chat, asking for help disposing of the body.

Police in Bensalem, Pennsylvania, said they received a call from a woman Friday afternoon who claimed her daughter had received a video call from a 16-year-old acquaintance.

“During the video chat, the 16-year-old stated that he had just killed someone,” police said in a statement. “He then flipped the video image and showed the legs and feet of someone covered in blood. He then asked for assistance with disposal of the body.”

Police said officers responded to a mobile home property and saw a young man running away. A young woman was found on the floor of the bathroom with an apparent gunshot wound.
