TWO women and a man were found dead with gunshot wounds in an isolated house in the woods of Styria province, Austrian police said today.

The man was reported missing by his employer after he did not show up for work, triggering a search late yesterday.

The police gained access to the locked house in the district of Murau, where they found three bodies with “obvious gunshot wounds” at about 6pm.

Police said it cannot be excluded that another person may have been involved in the deaths.

The identities and ages of the three dead have not been disclosed, but two of them were a couple who lived in the house, and the third victim was a woman.

Unconfirmed media reports said the victims were a teacher, his ex-girlfriend and a German holidaymaker. – AFP, June 14, 2023.
