Apache Co, AZ (CNN) An eight-year-old boy in Arizona is accused of killing his father and his father's friend and now we're getting a look at the interview police did with the child as part of their investigation. Sections of the videotaped interview were released by the Apache County Attorney's office.

The child has been charged in juvenile court with two counts of murder in the deaths of Vincent Romero, the boy's father and Timothy Romans, who was renting a room in the family's home.

The killings happened earlier this month in the small town in the eastern part of the state.

During the interview, which authorities say lasts about an hour, the boy admits to killing the two men. The boy's attorney says police verreached in their questioning of the boy, who was not represented by a family member or lawyer during the interview.

Investigators say, at the time of the interview, the boy was not considered a suspect, but rather a victim.
