| German Police officers at the scene |
A serious incident occurred today in Isselburg, Germany, where an Albanian from Kosovo killed his wife, daughter, and then himself.
"According to the first reports, the 51-year-old wanted to kill his wife and two children. Prior to the incident this morning he had notified an acquaintance, who then contacted the Police. In the apartment, law enforcement officers found the dead body of his 46-year-old wife, 17-year-old daughter. The second girl, 14 years old, escaped unharmed," said Chief Prosecutor Martin Botzenhardt.
Authorities say the 51-year-old first killed his wife, then his 17-year-old daughter, and then hanged himself, as Bild reports.
The 14-year-old girl gave the first information about the crime. It is suspected that the motive was the disputes of a long phase of the couple's separation.
