Police say the pair, 11 and 12, told officers they were Satan worshippers and planned to kill at least 15-25 students at Bartow Middle School.

On Tuesday they were searched by police who found weapons including a butcher's knife, pizza cutters and scissors.

The two girls were waiting in the toilet for younger students that they could "overpower to be their victims", police said.

In a statement, Bartow police chief Joe Hall said a search of the girls' mobile phones revealed text messages plotting the attack, and officers had also found a handwritten note saying: "Go to bathroom to kill."

They "did not want to attack larger students," the report says.
Using knives tucked under their clothes, the plan was to stab their victims and cut their throats.

The preteens conducted internet searches on how to kill someone with a knife and what type of wound would cause their victims "to bleed out the fastest."

Upon killing each victim, they intended to stack her or him in a bathroom stall and wait for the next small student to enter the bathroom.

"After the students were dead, they would cut them up and eat parts of the dead flesh," adding that the girls aimed to kill between 15 and 25 students.

The girls then planned to kill themselves by stabbing, and they hoped that by killing their fellow students, "they would get to go to hell so they could be with satan," according to police.
