premise: Two brothers aged 10 and 11 were accused Tuesday of the attempted murder of two other boys — becoming some of the youngest people ever charged with such a serious crime in Britain. The victims, 11 and nine, say they were robbed and beaten in an area of fields and woodland in Edlington, northern England, on Saturday. Neighbours said the younger victim was found wandering a road covered in blood. The older boy was discovered semiconscious in a wooded ravine nearby. Neighbours who found them told the British media that they appeared to have been beaten, slashed and burned with cigarettes. The 11-year-old victim was in intensive care with serious head injuries. The nine-hear-old needed surgery on his arm. Crown Prosecution Service spokesman Chris Hartley said each suspect faced two charges of attempted murder and two of robbery. They are accused of stealing a mobile phone and five pounds from the victims.
hypothesis: Edlington is in the north of England.
