A 16-year-old Brazilian boy upset over having his cell phone taken away shot and killed his parents and sister in the family\u2019s home, police said Wednesday.<\/p>

\"\"<\/a><\/div>\n

The triple homicide took place Friday in Sao Paulo, but only came to light Monday when the boy called police and confessed, the local security ministry said in a statement.<\/p>\n

nvestigation chief Roberto Afonso said the teen, who is adopted, grew \u201cvery frustrated\u201d after his parents took his phone away following an argument.<\/p>

\"\"<\/a><\/div>
\"\"<\/a><\/div>\n

The boy told investigators he got hold of the service gun belonging to his father, a municipal policeman, and shot him in the back.<\/a><\/p>

\"\"<\/a><\/div>\n

He then went upstairs and shot his 16-year-old sister in the face. When his mother arrived home several hours later, he killed her with the same weapon, police said.<\/p>\n

The father was 57 and the mother 50, they said.<\/p>

\"\"<\/a><\/div>\n<\/p>\n

\u201cWe need to understand if this was frustration related to some sort of psychological disturbance,\u201d Afonso told Brazilian network TV Record.<\/p>\n

Police are also investigating whether someone else was involved, including whether the boy spoke to anyone on the phone, he added.<\/p>

\"\"<\/a><\/div>\n<\/p>\n

The teen remained in the house with the three bodies from Friday until early Monday, when he was arrested.<\/p>

\"\"<\/a><\/div>\n

During that time, he went to the gym and made a purchase at a bakery. Still \u201cangry\u201d on Saturday, he stabbed his mother\u2019s cadaver with a knife, Afonso said.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n

The boy, who is being held at a juvenile detention center, had a \u201ccold\u201d demeanor when discussing the crimes, he said.<\/p>\n

Minor defendants are protected by special legislation in Brazil and cannot be tried as adults.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n
