São Paulo police have said that Marcelo Pesseghini
was a "sweet child". They are mystified as to why on
Sunday evening the 13-year-old pupil seemingly
murdered his police officer parents, his
grandmother and his aunt before shooting himself.
Three of the victims were apparently sleeping in the
family home in Brasilândia, north São Paulo, when
they were killed. The body of his mother, Andreia,
36, was found slumped on her knees beside a bed,
her arms covering her head. All were killed with a
police-issue revolver, discovered in the dead
teenager's hand.
Police investigating the murder believe the boy
killed all four family members on Sunday night, then
drove his mother's car to school, arriving at 1.25am
on Monday. At 6.23am security cameras captured a
boy identified as him with a rucksack getting out of
the car and entering the school. The father of a
school friend then gave him a lift home.
But on Wednesday the police colonel in charge of
the unit where Marcelo's mother was a corporal
questioned the official account and said she recently
denounced colleagues for robbing cash machines.
Police Colonel Wagner Dimas told São Paulo's Rádio
Bandeirantes he did not believe the official version
of events. "Today I am not convinced," Dimas said.
Marcelo had no history of violence, police say, but
was obsessed with weapons and had a large
collection of toy guns and a protective breastplate
made of cardboard in his bedroom, police said.
Detective Itagiba Franco, who is investigating the
case, told the Guardian that in 37 years in the force
he had not seen a case like it. "We interviewed a
friend of his at school, who said Marcelo's dream
had been to be a hired killer and that he wanted to
kill his parents at night and live in an abandoned
house," Franco said. He added that there was no
evidence anyone had invaded the house nor that the
crime was linked to his parents' police work. "This is
not a usual murder."
Dimas told the radio station that Marcelo's mother
recently denounced fellow officers for robbing cash
machines and although some officers were
transferred following an investigation nobody was
punished. "The problem with investigations is to
reach a conclusion. We did not reach a conclusion,"
he said.
Dimas said he had no knowledge of Andreia
Pesseghini being threatened and that time would
tell what had really happened. "Let's see if there is
any reason in this puzzle here," he said.
Police said they knew nothing of allegations by
Andreia Pesseghini but would investigate Dimas's
claim.
The Pesseghini family massacre has appalled Brazil
– a nation hardened by soaring homicide rates.
Rights groups estimate as many as 60,000
Brazilians are murdered each year.
Marcelo's father, Luís, 40, had been a member of
São Paulo's police for 18 years. He graduated to the
role of sergeant in the force's elite Rota unit – an
armed Swat team employed for rapid response.
In 2011, Rota was involved in at least two cases in
which suspected criminals were allegedly murdered
by police. In May 2012, six people believed to have
been members of armed criminal gang were killed
in a confrontation with the unit. Hundreds of
civilians and police were killed in a wave of violence
in subsequent months that terrorised the city.
Marcelo's mother was also a long-serving police
officer, working in administration. His grandmother
Benedita, 65, and an aunt, Bernadete Silva, 55, were
found dead in a separate house on the same
property.
