After what it says about previous behaviour of the boy's brother and some of his peers, I would venture that they are a pretty dysfunctional bunch, the kind that sometimes thrives in isolated communities where parenting is regarded as a hassle and delinquent behaviour runs rampant. They should be sorted out by schools and social services. However, you shouldn't stigmatize a 7-year-old as a serial killer or call for the electric chair or chemical castration on behalf of aguoanguamnaawhatever lizard.
