Hi everyone! Hope you don't mind, but I'm feeling
very sad now and I'd like to share this story with
you.
About one week ago, a couple was murdered here in
Sao Paulo. The woman was a psychiatrist, and the man
was a big guy at the road planning state dept, and
he was also the grandson of the "Red Baron", WWI
famous pilot Manfred von Richthofen. Well, today the
police arrested their 19-year-old daughter, together
with her boyfriend and his brother. They confessed
having killed them, because the couple didn't
approve the daughter's relationship with this guy.
She also wanted her parents' money, because she
thought she was going to get away with the murder
and live with her boyfriend in her parents' mansion.
The two brothers killed her parents with iron bars,
hitting them with extreme violence, the police said.
She stood outside the room, in the corridor, waiting
for them. They confessed also having planned the
murder two months ago.
As I was watching the news on the TV, there was an
interview with a psychiatrist. He said that children
who killed their parents like this act with a
pathological sense of immediacy, wanting to solve
their needs without reasoned planning for the
future. And they also act with an unusual and
extreme cruelty and violence. "Can these people be
cured?", asked the reporter. "No, once they reach
this level, there's no turning back". While I
disagree a little with his reply, I couldn't help
thinking about all this...
I feel terrible. I know there are differences
between this case and the Parker-Hulme case - no one
was gay, or seen as, the daughter wasn't as young as
them, and I don't know how their parents treated
her. But, what it strikes me is to be reminded what
we're dealing with. Geez... I dedicated myself to
Paul and Juliet's story in every possible way, but
it's easy to lose the focus and forget what this is
really about...
My mother was shocked, especially because she knows
about my website, this list and all. It scares me, I
have no idea what is the line that these people have
crossed.
What should I do about it? I'm lost.
Juliana.
