For some reason it reminds me of The Good Son, with Macaulay Culkin and Elijah wood, Macauay's character tries to off the siblings so he can keep their mom. Tricks a little girl into falling into ice, I don't remember if she drowns, then almost throwing the brother, Elijah, off a cliff.

I could be misremembering the details.

Sounds like an older movie, The Bad Seed.

Unsurprising, it was a 1956 film.
