Berlin, Jun 01: Two German teenagers have laid waste to a school, wrecking 25 classrooms with hammers and killing the janitor's fish with a fire extinguisher.
The boys, 14 and 17, caused one million Euros ( 1.2 million) of damage by smashing up furniture and ripping out water pipes to flood the school in the Bavarian town of Fuerth, police said Saturday.
They also set fire to the adjacent kindergarten. Amid the chaos, the pair emptied a fire extinguisher's contents into the tank of the luckless fish.
The boys said they embarked on the three-and-a-half-hour orgy of violence because it was fun, police said.
The younger boy said he also hoped that by wrecking the school, he would get out of having to attend. Both of them now face a spell in a young offenders' institution instead.
