A 17-year old Italian boy, confessed to murdering his mother, father and younger brother only a few hours after the whole family celebrated the father’s (Fabio Chiarioni) 51st birthday.
The teenager chillingly told investigators ‘There is no real reason why I killed them. I felt like a foreign body in my family. Oppressed. I thought that by killing them all I would free myself from this discomfort’.
Local news first reported that the boy had told authorities that it was his dad that killed his mother and brother and that he only killed his dad out of fear.
The 17-year-old explained to investigators that he entered his brother’s room on the second floor of the family home to find Chiarioni sitting on a chair with the knife next to him.
He told officers the body of his mother was on the ground by his father’s feet, and his brother was laying dead in his bed before he launched his attack on his father.
The police were however left unconvinced by the story as no signs of struggle appeared on the boy’s body, before the actual truth was revealed during a second interrogation.
Speaking to investigators during his confession, he said: ‘I realized it a minute later. I understood that it was not by killing them that I would be freed.’
