A Brazilian man who considered an inflatable puppet his "bride" killed his parents because they demanded he divorce her and damaged the toy, media reports said today.
The 44-year-old unemployed man apparently confessed to the crime, which occurred on Saturday, after a long interrogation by police in a suburb of Sao Paulo city, a police spokesman said.
"The man thought the doll was a human being, called her his bride and talked to her," an acquaintance of the family was quoted as saying.
But his parents, who were religious, demanded he separate from the doll.
When the mother took scissors and cut holes in the man's "bride", the man strangled and stabbed his father, age 70, and mother, age 71.
"My parents didn't love me and didn't understand me," the man was quoted as saying. "
