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.

Very peculiar story, this - he'd apparently told a friend that he wanted to kill his parents and become a hitman. Why go to school in between? It seems so 'cold' for so young a killer somehow. There was obviously something very, very wrong in the mind of this child, and I guess something must have caused that. It must be more than just watching too many films and trying to be a 'superhero' or 'supervillain' - to act it out in the way that he seems to have is well beyond mere movie influence.
