Brazil boy, 13, kills family members, then himself!

A 13-year-old Brazilian boy killed his police officer parents, his grandmother and his great-aunt before spending a full day at school and then taking his own life, police have revealed.
 
 
The five bodies were found before dawn on Tuesday inside two houses located on the same property in northern Sao Paulo, they said.
"Everything seems to indicate that Marcelo (Pesseghini) killed his parents and relatives," Itagiba Franco, of the Sao Paulo Civilian Police's homicide department, told a press conference.

Police said the teen's parents were killed late Sunday or in the early hours of Monday. Forensic examinations are under way.
Franco said Pesseghini had told a friend he wanted to kill his parents and become a hitman.

"He always told me he wanted to become a hired killer. He had a plan to kill his parents during the night, so that no one would notice and escape in the parents' car and live in an abandoned place," police quoted the unidentified friend as saying.

 

The teen died from a shot to the left temple and his father's police-issue service revolver was found nearby, Sao Paulo police commander Benedito Roberto Meira said earlier.

A second gun, a .32 caliber revolver, was found inside the backpack the teenager took to school on Monday, Meira added, saying "there was no sign that someone broke into the house".

The police commander ruled out "an act of revenge by a criminal group" against the teenager's father and mother.

On December 21st last year Marcelo Pesseghini posted a picture connected with the Amityville murders in New York onto his Facebook page.
The chilling similarities between the Sao Paulo killings and the Amityville murders suggest the teenager was directly inspired by the infamous 1974 case.

 

On November 13, 1974, 23-year-old Ronald DeFeo Jr used a Marlin 336c rifle to shoot dead his parents Ronald and Louise as well as his brothers Marc, 12, and John Matthew, 9, and sisters Dawn, 18, and  Allison 13.
All were shot in bed. DeFeo was found guilty on six counts of second-degree murder, and is currently imprisoned at Green Haven Correctional Facility in Beekman.
In Sao Paulo all the victims were close family members living in the same home and all were shot in bed with the exception of the mother Andreia Pesseghini who was found on her knees in the bedroom.
Following the Amityville killings stories circulated that the house was haunted. The family who moved into the property reported 'paranormal activities' and fled - their experience inspired books and a 1979 movie.
In December last year, Marcelo Pesseghini posted a famous picture known as the Amityville 'Ghost Boy' which emerged in 1976 and purports to show the ghost of the youngest of the DeFeo children.
