Investigators learned Sergio was upset because his father, Celso Sontay, got his little brother a Christmas present but didn't get Sergio one.

Leads me to believe (although not know for certain) that he came from a poor family. To have one Christmas present... 
[/QUOTE]To me that's more of an indication of poor child-parental relations. The way I interpreted it, it made it seem like the father deliberately didn't but his son a Christmas present, but for a non-monetary reason. More like an act out of spite or resentment for his child.
But either way, that is still speculative. I still don't think it is "quite clear" that the family is poor. I still don't even see how one starts to think about those kind of things with a situation like this.
