A 66-year-old Orvieto man on
Thursday shot dead his 67-year-old wife and 35-year-old daughter
with his legal hunting rifle before shooting himself dead,
police said.
The motive is not yet clear, police said.
Police said they thought it might have been an impulse
killing.
The man, a clerk, was said to have been a very reserved
person who gave no sign of being a potential murderer-suicide,
neighbours said.
The man's brother phoned police after failing to hear from
him.
The daughter's body was found in the kitchen of their home,
her mother's in a cubbyhole and the man's in another room with
the rifle by his side.
Police are trying top piece together what exactly happened,
and why.
