Suzane planned the murder of her parents for months. In the late hours of 31 October 2002, she checked if they were already asleep, then disconnected the alarm system of the estate and opened the door to Daniel and Cristian, who had been waiting outside. The brothers went upstairs to the parents' bedroom and struck them with iron bars before strangling them with towels. Suzane was waiting in the living room downstairs. After the murder was accomplished, the three staged a break-in by pocketing money they found, spreading papers in the library, and creating a mess in the house.

Early in the morning, Suzane and Daniel picked up her little brother, Andreas, at an internet café and went home, where they "found" the door open and lights turned on.

On July 17, 2006, Suzane von Richthofen, along with the Cravinhos brothers, was put on trial in São Paulo for ''homicídio qualificado'', the equivalent of First Degree Murder in Brazilian law.

Prosecutor Roberto Tardelli, however, called Suzane the "mastermind" of the crime and called for a 50 years sentence for each of the three defendants (at the time, however, Brazilian law limited any person's imprisonment to 30 years, even with a higher sentence). On July 22, Suzane and Daniel were both sentenced to 40 years in prison for the crime, while | On July 17, 2006, Suzane von Richthofen, along with the Cravinhos brothers, was put on trial in São Paulo for ''homicídio qualificado'', the equivalent of First Degree Murder in Brazilian law.
