Dad shoots daughter, 6, teen son & wife dead before killing himself as bodies found after neighbours complained of smell

A family tragedy has taken place recently that has left the entire community in shock.

A dad is suspected of taking the lives of his entire family by shooting his six year old daugther, teen son, and then his wife, before turning the gun on himself.

It's still not clear when exactly the fatal killing spree took place, with neighbors reporting a very foul smell coming from their apartment in previous days. Police were first alerted about concerns for the family on Friday by a very worried landlord.

The man did his best to try to speak to the tenants after not hearing from them for a few days, which was very rare.

He failed to get any kind of reply from them, and that's when he alerted the cops about the matter.

Cops from the Bamberg-Land police station rushed round to the Strullendorf home just after 7 pm. All four relatives were found dead at the home with fatal gunshot injuries. The clues indicated how the 52-year-old father opened fire on his loved ones. An investigation is now taking place to get more details on what exactly happened and what the motive of the crime could be.
