The man accused in the kidnapping and dismemberment killing of an 8-year-old Brooklyn boy told detectives his victim put up a struggle and that afterward he was hearing voices telling him “to take his own life for what he did,” according to court papers made public yesterday. Police say Levi Aron made the remarks last month around the time he directed officers to a trash bin where he had dumped a red suitcase containing body parts.

The 35-year-old defendant also was asked if he knew anything about past sex crimes against children. The papers say he recounted how a man groped him on a subway train when he was a teenager. “But I never did that to a child because I don’t swing that way,” he said.
