ALICANTE: A 15-year-old boy killed his parents and brother following an argument over his poor school grades. The tragic incident took place on Tuesday evening, in a rural area just outside Elche, about 20 kilometres from the southeastern port city of Alicante in Spain. The 15-year-old boy had killed his parents and his 10-year-old brother, following a row in the family over his bad school grades. The murder was committed using a rifle. The police have arrested the boy.

A relative who came to check upon the family had discovered the incident. The three bodies were found lying in a pool of blood. The relative soon informed the police. The 15-year-old boy was found sitting near the bodies, which were three days old. A team of psychologists then took the boy away. He told the police that he had argued with his mother over his school grades and then used his father's hunting rifle to kill her. He then killed his 10-year-old brother and lastly his father. The police informed that the teenager would be taken to the juvenile prosecutor’s office.
