Brief Answer:
Try pediatric psychological evaluation

Detailed Answer:
Hi
Thanks for writing to us.
I understand that you are really worried.
It could be just a reflection of what he had seen or heard.
I think he needs a pediatric psychological or psychiatric consultation.
Try diverting attention to toys and books.
Avoid mobiles tablets or TV which can instill such thoughts.
Let him play as a group instead of being alone.
Discuss with his school teachers about his behaviour in school.
I do hope this is temporary and will pass away.
Wishing your child good health.
Regards
Dr Arun
