Mother, father and their 32-year-old son were found dead in a single-family home in Villingen-Schwenningen in Baden-Württemberg. All had stab wounds, the police announced in the evening. A 27-year-old man reportedly found his parents and brother on the ground floor of the house when he came home in the afternoon.
According to the report, the police found a knife on the 32-year-old, which is believed to be the murder weapon. There was evidence that the man first killed his parents, aged 57 and 62, and then himself, it was said.
A forensic science team was busy collecting evidence until late at night. Further investigations, particularly into a possible motive, have been initiated.
