MELBOURNE – Three members of an Indian family died today in a suspected case of murder-suicide after a massive fire tore through their Melbourne house.
The police said four people of Indian descent were known to be living in the house located in a city suburb, though at the time of the fire two boys aged five and 10 and their 37-year-old mother were believed to be there.
The father was reportedly visiting his sick mother in India when the incident happened.
The bodies of the victims were found together in a back room of the home. But the police was yet to identify the bodies or determine exactly how many were dead, detective Geoff Maher said.
The police found a handwritten note on a car in the driveway of the home and is investigating whether it was written by the mother.
