Calgary police chief calls deaths of 3 adults, 2 children a 'domestic homicide'

"This is the sort of case that really cannot be commented on except to express horror and sadness. jcm"
Calgary's police chief says three adults and two young children found dead in an upscale neighborhood were the victims of a "domestic homicide."

Rick Hanson says four of the dead were a mother, father and their two little girls - aged four and six.

The other victim was an adult female who has been described as a live-in tenant.


The only survivor was the family's other daughter, a one-year-old girl who was unharmed.

The scene was so disturbing that the five officers who made the discovery and the emergency medical services crew involved were given trauma counselling.
