Family found dead in bedroom
Because the child's mother had not turned up for work last Wednesday, an acquaintance had become concerned. She is said to have contacted the father of the two girls - aged five and eight - who had a key to the house. He is also said to have discovered the three bodies in a bedroom on the upper floor.

While the mother had gunshot wounds, the autopsy results of the two girls showed that they had died from asphyxiation. The terrible suspicion: the mother is said to have pressed a cushion onto the little ones' faces until they stopped breathing.
