Caledonia, Wisconsin - A 15-year-old boy is on trial after he allegedly killed his mother in a brutal murder that was said to be inspired by a recent Netflix film.

As People reported in reference to various local outlets, Reed R. Gelinskey was arrested on Tuesday after police received a 911 call claiming that Gelinskey had sent a picture of a dead woman via Snapchat.

When officers arrived at the boy's home, the teen reportedly approached them covered in blood and holding a kitchen knife.

"He then made statements for officers to kill him and stated 'she is dead' and 'she is dead from what I did,'" the indictment states.

He killed her by hitting her on the head with a dumbbell, after which he used the knife.

Gelinskey was arrested immediately.

But what motivated the teenager to commit such a brutal act?

According to his own statements, Gelinskey had come home from school that day in a bad mood and felt the urge to kill his parents.

He had previously taken his brother's anti-anxiety medication and is said to have taken nine pills on the night of the murder.

After searching in vain for a hammer to kill his father, he watched his mother watching the Netflix movie The Menendez Brothers – a documentary about the brothers Lyle and Erik Menendez, who are in prison for the murder of their parents.
