World Scene: Austria
Man axes family
Investigators yesterday discovered the bodies of five people after a man turned up at a Vienna police station and calmly explained that he had killed his family to spare them the shame of his financial ruin, authorities said.
Police officers found the bodies of the man's wife and 7-year-old daughter in his home in an affluent part of the Austrian capital and determined both had been killed with an ax, police said.
