Greenville (US), July 3: Authorities in South Carolina say they've charged a 14-year-old in the death and sexual assault of an 8-year-old neighbour.

Greenville County sheriff's deputy Michael Hildebrand says the teen was charged on Tuesday with murder and first-degree criminal sexual conduct in the death of Dymia Janae Woody, who was reported missing Monday. Deputies found her body early Tuesday in a mobile home. An autopsy showed she died of asphyxia.

The teen's name has not been released because of his age.

Hildebrand says he lived in the neighbourhood and authorities believe he knew Dymia.

The teen is being held in a juvenile detention facility pending a court hearing today. After-hours phone messages were left with the public defender's office.
