OCALA, Fla -- Marion county authorities say two teens were plotting to kill a juvenile and dismember the body.
The 16-year-olds were arrested Friday and charged with conspiracy to commit murder. They are not being identified because of their age.
Sheriff's officials received a report that the boys wanted to torture, kill and dismember another juvenile. Officials say the boys discussed gagging the juvenile, hitting him over the head and stuffing him into a "Kevlar bag" so he would sink. One suspect offered to bring a "torture kit."

Marion County authorities said a group lured a 15-year-old boy to a house in May where he was beaten and shot multiple times. His body was burned in fire pit.
