The ‘Butcher of Brooklyn’ has given his first interview since he was arrested and charged with murdering the 8-year-old on July 11.

In the hour-long chat at New York’s Riker’s Island Prison, Levi Aron described the moment he first set eyes on lost Leiby Kletzky, claiming, “He looked familiar. I thought I knew him,” but he refused to describe how he killed and dismembered his victim, insisting, “I (only) remember little things.”

“It hurts too much to think about it,” Aron, 35, told the New York Daily News.

“I don’t know what happened. I just panicked.”

When asked of he wanted to apologize for 8-year-old Leiby’s murder, Aron looked away and silently nodded his head, but refused to say “sorry.”

He also refused to refer to Leiby by name and described the kidnapping, murder and dismemberment as “the incident.”

When asked what he did and WHY he did it, Aron answered “I don’t know”

Aron was adamant his motives weren’t sexual. There was no evidence of molestation and he stressed in his interview with the Daily News that he and Leiby slept in separate rooms, the night before the murder.

The accused killer also addressed his lawyer’s claims he is suffering a psychiatric condition, claiming, “I sometimes hear voices.”

Bizarrely, when asked if he wishes he never met Leiby, he replied, “Sometimes.”

This must be heartbreaking for Leiby’s grieving family.

The accused killer’s lawyers are now trying to get the trial moved and are STILL considering using his ‘insanity’ as a defense.

Levi Aron has been told he WILL stand trial on charges he kidnapped, murdered and dismembered Leiby Kletzky after the 8-year-old got lost on his way home from a summer camp on July 11.

Aron confessed to cops after body parts were found in his freezer and a dumpster near his Brooklyn, New York home — but pleaded NOT GUILTY, pending a psychiatric test to establish if he was competent to stand trial.

The results of that test were announced in court on August 4 — and the trial WILL go ahead.

Aron, dressed in an orange jumpsuit, remained silent throughout the hearing — which was attended by members of Leiby’s hasidic jewish community.

Speaking outside court, his lawyers revealed they’re still convinced the accused killer is suffering from a psychiatric condition — and will request further testing and evaluation.

Attorney Pierre Bazile told reporters, “It is not a rendering on sanity or insanity. We believe him to have some psychiatric disorders.”

Aron is due back in court on September 19, when Bazile will ask for the trial to be moved away from Brooklyn — claiming he has no chance of being judged fairly there.

He explains, “He may not be able to get a fair trial in Brooklyn because the community’s rancor has been riled, it has been so stirred up against the defendant.”

Let’s hope justice is found for poor little Leiby.

3. Leiby Kletzky’s Killer, 35-Year-Old Levi Aron, Confesses To Murder

A grand jury on Wednesday (July 20) indicted the 35-year-old on a total of eight counts in the murder of the 8-year-old Brooklyn boy.

Leiby Kletzky was found dead last week, two days after he went missing on his way home from a Orthodox Jewish day camp near his home in Brooklyn, New York. Yesterday, an autopsy of his body revealed that Levi Aron had given Leiby a deadly combination of drugs, including a muscle relaxant, an anti-psychotic drug and two pain medications, before smothering him to death.

Aron has been indicted on a total of eight counts — two counts of first-degree murder, three counts of second-degree murder, two counts of first-degree kidnapping and one count of second-degree kidnapping. He faces the maximum penalty of life in prison without parole.

He previously pleaded not guilty when he was arraigned on July 14 and was sent for psychiatric evaluation after his attorney claimed he’d been hearing voices.

Prosecutors say Aron confessed to kidnapping and killing Leiby, hiding body parts in his freezer and a nearby dumpster. In leaked excerpts from his confession, Aron said, “I’m sorry for the hurt that I caused.”

Aron is expected to be indicted this week.

Leiby’s family fear Esther Kletzky can’t handle the horrific truth about how her eight-year-old son was kidnapped, murdered and his body dismembered.

A week after Leiby Kletzky‘s terrible death, his grieving relatives are piecing together their lives and struggling to keep details of his grisly demise from the more fragile members of the family.

Leiby’s grandad Isaac Forster tells the New York Post Esther Kletzky, 36, doesn’t know the “terrible” details of her son’s death and that the family are “trying to do everything” to keep her in the dark, for her own sake.

Esther has four other children, all daughters, with Leiby’s dad Nachman Kletzky.

Leiby’s elderly great-grandmother doesn’t even know he has died.

Are they doing the right thing, HollyMoms — or making it harder for Leiby’s mom, in the long run?

Levi Aron, 35, has allegedly confessed to kidnapping and murder, but pleaded NOT guilty during a court hearing on July 14. He is currently being evaluated by a psychiatrist, after telling his attorney he has been hearing voices

3. Levi Aron Pleads NOT GUILTY To Murdering Leiby Kletzky, Claims He Hears Voices!

The woman who knows him best says he is a ‘cold sociopath’ whose ‘soul is doomed forever!’

Levi Aron has gained national infamy for allegedly murdering 8-year-old Leiby Kletzky, but his ex-wife says he deserves whatever punishment he has coming to him!

Levi, 35, divorced Diana Diunov, 38, in 2005, but she’s not afraid to comment on his state of mind, the New York Post reports.

“[He is a] cold sociopath,” she said. “His soul is doomed forever. Trust me, this man is sane!”

She also chillingly says her ex-husband modeled himself after another notorious accused killer: Casey Anthony.

“He killed an innocent child for no reason but a desire to become famous,” she says. “After the big case of Casey Anthony, he decided to try his luck. For him, the meeting of this little poor boy was a chance to shine into media and make himself known. He probably believes that he can get off by work of lawyers and God knows who else.”

What do you think, HollyMoms — does Levi have mental problems or is he as sane as his ex-wife says?

– William Earl

The 35-year-old has been placed on suicide watch and will undergo a psychiatric evaluation, after his attorney registered concerns about his mental state.

Despite confessing he killed and dismembered eight-year-old Leiby Kletzky, 35-year-old Levi Aron entered a not guilty plea when he was arraigned on July 14.

“He has indicated to me that he hears voices and has had some hallucinations,” said attorney Pierre Bazile.

No explanation was given for the not guilty plea, on charges of kidnapping and murder. Police officers insist they have written and video confessions, in which Aron admits snatching Leiby on July 11 when he stopped him to ask for directions.

He also admits he lured the child to his home and murdered him, before cutting up his body and hiding it in his freezer and a nearby dumpster.

Aron looked pale and disheveled in court.

Officials confirmed he will be mentally evaluated and placed on suicide watch, pending a further hearing.

Do you believe his story, HollyMoms? Is he mentally ill? Or is it a convenient excuse?
