Page defends boy accused of killing his parents.

247 - One page created On the social network Facebook, he defends the innocence of Marcelo Eduardo Bovo Pesseghini against the accusation of having killed his parents, grandmother, and great-aunt, and then committing suicide. The massacre occurred on Sunday night and Monday morning, and the main suspect, according to the Civil Police, is the 13-year-old boy.

Titled "It wasn't Marcelo Eduardo Bovo Pesseghini," the online community already has over five thousand fans and has published messages of support for the family and calls for a thorough police investigation. There are also criticisms of the press coverage of the case. The author, who prefers not to be identified, published a message today that she said was received by the page. Read below:

"Congratulations on the initiative! We, who have Cystic Fibrosis, just like Marcelo also did, are completely outraged by the way this disgusting media is portraying the disease. They make it seem negative and frightening. Is the disease serious? Yes, it is, but it has treatment and IT IS NOT DEGENERATIVE. It is genetic, recessive. When my mother found out, she heard from the doctor: "Look, she might live to be 15 years old." But that has changed; the life expectancy of those with the disease is now 37 years, and it depends a lot on which mutation the person carries, how they manage their treatment, among other things. As far as I know, Marcelo was being treated at Santa Casa, where I have friends who were treated by him. What outraged me the most is that they've already said that the boy "resurrected" and killed someone. UNBELIEVABLE!!!"

The woman who created the page identifies herself as "a mother outraged by such absurdity" and as "an ordinary citizen," with no connection to the victims' family. She says she was motivated to create the community by her anger at the lack of clarity surrounding the case.
