I did find an archived copy of an article from a Spanish newspaper about it, however. There appears to be some relevant information there, something about him having his hair styled like Squall, and attempting to imitate him in other ways. So while he was likely influenced by the game, that alone is not reason to believe it was the reason he murdered his family, though the article appears to try to draw a connection between anti-authoritarianism and parricide.
I have read the article and it pretty much says what you have stated, the teenager had his hair styled like Squall's and acted like him, so they think there might be a connexion between fighting the authoritarianism and the murder of his parents.
It might be good to add that information to the trivia, since it helps to understand the point of view of those who blamed the game.
