Neuchatel police are investigating what they believe is a family murder suicide.
Three people were found dead in an apartment in La Chaux-de-Fonds on Friday – but it’s thought the killings were two days earlier.
Police say it was a family, a married couple and their 17-year-old daughter. They say they believe the 38-year-old father first killed his daughter and then his 42-year-old wife and then himself.
Friends and family told the press they’re shocked – they didn’t see any arguments in the family, but the problems may have been financial.
One neighbour says they lived beyond their means. They owned three cars and had a nice house. The father had recently lost his job. The neighbour suggested they move to cut their rent – but he refused.
Investigations continue.
