A 39-year-old man killed five
members of his family, some apparently with an axe and reported
the deaths to police himself, police said.
The dead were his wife, daughter aged seven, and his parents and
father-in-law.
The man went to police and they found the
bodies of the wife and daughter in an apartment in Vienna. They
may have been killed with an axe, Austrian news agency APA
quoted police as saying.
He admitted the other killings and the bodies were found
outside Vienna in Upper Austria. It was unclear how they died.
