The boy, who has been identified as Riccardo, brutally butchered his father Fabio Chiarioni, mother Daniela Albano, 49, and 12-year-old brother Lorenzo with a 20cm kitchen knife in Paderno Dugnano, near Milan, Italy. on Sunday.
The young man chillingly told police he killed his family to “live more freely” after obsessively listening to The Long and Winding Road by The Beatles in the days leading up to the murders, local media reported.
He said he heard the lines “Many times I’ve been alone / And many times I’ve cried” on repeat.
During the shocking attack, the teenager first hit his brother while he was sleeping and Lorenzo’s screams woke their parents, who rushed into his bedroom.
The worried father, unaware that his eldest was the perpetrator, screamed for help, only to be killed by his own flesh and blood.
“I stabbed the dad while he was calling me for help,” the teenager confessed, as reported by the Italian news agency Il Difforme.
He added: “I thought one knife would be enough to kill, then I realized it wasn’t.”
The boy stabbed his father in the neck multiple times to kill him quickly as he said he did not want his family to “suffer”.
The boy also told investigators: “There’s 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 suffering.’
Ricardo also said that he thought about going to Ukraine to fight against Russia.
According to local reports, the young boy had initially told authorities the fabricated story that he had seen his father kill his mother and brother – before picking up a knife and stabbing his father.
The 17-year-old explained to investigators that he entered his brother’s room on the second floor of the family home and found Chiarioni sitting in a chair with the knife next to him.
