In any case, it could be that in killing that person, the child will have learned that killing is wrong and why. Understanding can come from experience, though it need not to in this case. Perhaps there is some other reason for thsi event. Who is to say?
It's not a hypothetical scenario. It has happened. If god were so great, he would have bestowed his infinite wisdom upon that child and saved the rest of us the heartache of bearing witness (in a way) to such events.
My question, basically, is why is a person capable of sin before they know right from wrong?

Horseshit. Here we try them as adults.
And then let them out when they're in their twenties. Looks like the judicial system is as fucked up as god's will.
