A 51-year-old woman and her 17-year-old daughter were found shot to death in their home in Lindesnes, Southern Norway, last week. Police now think a man in his 20s murdered them both before fatally shooting himself.
Police have said there was a relationship among the three, but they were not in the same family. A young man was later found dead in his car at a parking lot outside Mandal, around 20 kilometers away, with the gun believed to also have killed the two others. He was not immediately identified but was from East Agder and has since been charged with murder post mortem.
Police stressed that there are now two families who have been plunged into “an extremely demanding and difficult situation.” Police had been called to the home of the victims, Anne Grimstad and her daughter Elina Jeanette Grimstad, after neighbours had reported a disturbance at the Grimstads’ home at Vigeland in Lindesnes. The alleged assailant was found dead around an hour later.
