Boy, 13, shoots dead his parents, grandmother and great aunt… then spends day in school before killing himself

Slaughter: 13-year-old Marcelo Pesseghini with his police officer parents Luiz and Andreia, who he shot dead in the early hours of Monday morning before setting off to school

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.
