AITA for killing my girlfriend’s dad?

I know this sounds bad but please read the whole thing before judging. note for context is also that me and my gf (16F) kind of broke up earlier this week so not sure if she’s technically my gf anymore. but that’s a topic for another time. anyway, you might have seen my other post about my stepdad. basically I (18M) figured out my stepdad (55M) killed my dad (60M) because my dad appeared to me as a ghost and told me to take vengeance. I didn’t kill my stepdad right away, which I thought was pretty reasonable. I decided that since guilty creatures sitting at a play are, by the very cunning of the scene, so struck to the soul that presently they proclaim their malefactions, I was going to put on a play to see if he was guilty or not. long story short, he freaked out in the middle of the play and stopped it and yelled at everyone. my mom (38F) (who married my stepdad two months after my dad died! go figure) got super mad about the whole thing and said I really offended my dad. I said no YOU offended my father since she married the guy who probably killed him (who is also his brother!). our argument got pretty heated and I heard someone moving behind her curtain. obviously I thought it was my stepdad since we were in my mom’s room. so I took out my rapier and killed him. he fell out of the curtain and turns out it was actually my gf’s dad (62M). he was annoying af to be honest so I wasn’t that sad but clearly I didn’t know it was him. it was an accident. I also took his body out of my mom’s room (she was freaking out) and put it in the stairwell without even being asked, so I thought that was pretty generous of me. I know this isn’t an ideal situation but in my defense I had no idea he was back there eavesdropping on our whole conversation. my mom should have told me what was going on, and it’s also super weird to hide advisors in your bedroom curtains?? anyway now everyone’s pissed at me and they’re trying to ship me away from england like I’m some kind of danger to the community. I was just trying to get the REAL danger out of my kingdom…but now I’m wondering if I’m in the wrong.

AITA?

I make so many typos on this website. I’m actually good at spelling in real life and a lot of the things I say make sense

summer reading book recs that all feel like summer books but in different ways:

dandelion wine by ray bradbury - whimsical nostalgic summer

time shelter by georgi gospodinov - summer is passing both too quickly and too slowly and what is time anyway

crime and punishment - evil sweltering summer

east of eden by john steinbeck - coming of age summer

the pearl by john steinbeck - bummer summer

epic of gilgamesh - pondering summer

the misfit by flannery o’connor - weird creepy summer

jazz by toni morrison - secret keeping summer

emma by jane austen - too busy summer

a body count not as in homicide nor as in sexuality but as in the trail of people from my childhood and adolescence i should’ve been a better friend to and taken better care of but i was too busy being caught up in my own heartache to recognize their own and therefore our relationship tapered off in an extremely unsatisfying way that continuously manifests itself as a thrumming sense of grief in my chest. anyway which restaurant chains have the best free pre-meal bread?
