Five members of a family have been found killed in the American state of Alabama in what is suspected to be the latest in a series of murder-suicides that have shocked the country.
Police said they found the body of Kevin Lee Garner, the suspected killer of his wife, daughter, sister and nephew, near his house yesterday.
The other bodies were found in a house earlier in the day, police said, adding that the incident could be a result of a family feud.
Police suspect that Garner committed suicide after killing four relatives, but the case is still under investigation.
