An Austrian man has handed himself into police after allegedly hacking his wife, seven-year-old daughter, parents and father-in-law to death with axe.

The unnamed 39-year-old walked into a police station in Vienna and confessed that the bodies of his wife and daughter were in his flat, police said.

His parents were found dead in Linz, 180km (112 miles) west of Vienna, and his father-in-law in nearby Ansfelden.

Police told the Reuters news agency the suspect said he had financial problems.

They said he had borrowed money from his relatives, lost it in business deals which later went wrong and said he wanted to spare them from the scandal, Reuters reported.

Investigators are still questioning the man about all five deaths, Vienna police spokeswoman Karin Strycek said.

Ms Strycek said the killings had taken place on Tuesday evening and that the man's wife had been found dead in the apartment's bathroom and his daughter in a cupboard.

Everyone in the place is so straight laced and proper. You can just tell there is a lot more bubbling under the surface.

Defo related to the Euros! Its a psychological ploy to scare all the opposing teams into thinkin Austria are tough backstards, and to be afraid of them, so as to better their chances of a win! Its simple tactics really!

Number of dead x sickness level = WIN!

Their snow is melting for the summer so they're sad?

Jesus. I had to look at the title to figure out what was going on.

The problem there is that they need something to be scared off. A good instituutionalised organisation that rules with an iron fist - like the Catholic Church of old, or the US Republicna party. That'll get them into line.

Liberal my fvcking arse. It's abuot time we clamped down on all that ****e once and for all!

You monkeys are always blabbing on about how great you are with your opposable thumbs. You try and make it in this world with no arms and then come back and tell me what you think! I'm off to paint with my beak.

So, a daughter in the cellar, and an axe murder in the closet.




I can't help but feel the Austrians are taking the game of Cluedo a little too seriously?

Yes, we can all make snide remarks that add nothing to the thread. Well done you too!

My god. Imagine playing "Thumb Wars" with that guy.

-An Austrian woman is like a good wine. Best left to mature in a
cellar.


-I've just bought this Austrian girls diary off ebay. Its not very
interesting it just says:

Monday: Stayed in
Tuesday: Stayed in
Wednesday: Stayed in.


-Austrian authorities have said that JF has been improving as a
father as of late. In fact, police have said that he has "Been coming into
his own".



-The Austrians have taken their fondness for the Sound of Music too far.
They even have their own Von Trapped family.


-Just when we thought Madeleine McCann was pixxing the World Hide & Seek
Record, some Austrian bird romps home with a 24 year claim!


-An Austrian journalist asked a neighbour how long he had known JF
"Alice" he replied "Who the f**k is Alice? You mean for 24 years I've
been living next door to Alice?!"


-Official advice on s*x education for Austrian teenagers is to keep them
in the dark as long as possible.


-Austrian authorities are worried by the rapid drop in stag nights after
it was learnt they actually do lock up their daughters.
