A father killed himself Monday after murdering his two children, aged two and a half and four, with a hammer in a flat in the centre of Trento, police said. The body of Gabriele Sorrentino, a financial worker and former Carabiniere, was found at the bottom of a cliff that dominates the northern Italian city and is accessible on a funicular railway, near where his car was found. Police said he had thrown himself off to his death. The mother, Sara Failla, a vet, said economic problems linked to the purchase of a new flat may have been linked to the murders.
