After shooting to death his parents, his grandmother and a great-aunt, 13-year-old Marcelo Pesseghini went to school, like it was any other day.

After classes were over, he walked home and fatally shot himself in the left temple, police said.

All five bodies were found by authorities Monday in Sao Paulo, Brazil.

The boy was reportedly obsessed with the real-life murders behind “The Amityville Horror” book and movie, and had posted images related to that case on his Facebook page. He also told a friend he wanted to be a hit man, police said.

The classic thriller was inspired by Ronald DeFeo Jr., who killed his parents and four siblings in their Amityville, N.Y., home in 1974, then went to work like nothing had happened. He was convicted of the murders and sentenced to life in prison.
