Teen who allegedly stabbed his mother to death says he was inspired by Menendez Brothers documentary

A Wisconsin teenager has been charged with homicide after allegedly stabbing his mother to death, claiming that Netflix's The Menendez Brothers influenced the act.

According to court documents obtained by WISN, 15-year-old Reed Gelinskey was charged with first-degree intentional homicide on March 6 by the Racine County District Attorney's Office. 

"This was an extremely violent, but planned offense. It's dangerous in its nature. His original plan was not just for the one victim, but two," Racine County District Attorney Patricia Hanson said. 

The criminal complaint said that Caledonia police arrived at the home after a 911 caller said that she received multiple Snapchat messages from Gelinskey asking for help as he stabbed his mother to death.

Upon arriving at a home on East White Manor Court in Franksville, where the incident happened, local authorities said that Gelinskey dropped a brown and silver kitchen knife. He then told officers to kill him and said, "She is dead." And, "She is dead from what I did."

Further investigations found that his mother was hit in the head twice with a dumbbell bar and then stabbed with a steak knife. 

As per the preliminary autopsy, her mother's death was due to "multiple force traumas to her chest that caused internal bleeding."

Before the incident, Gelinskey told police he came home from school feeling depressed and wanting to kill his parents. He had thoughts of finding a hammer to kill his father, but couldn't find one big enough.

The report also said that he had been taking his brother's anxiety pills for the past month and took about nine pills the night his mother died.

When asked why he did this, Gelinskey, who will be charged as an adult, said, "Pain."
