Man 'torches in-laws' in Austria

An Austrian man has been arrested on suspicion of burning his in-laws to death with a home-made flame-thrower.

Police said the 48-year-old used a propane gas container to torch the elderly couple as they lay in bed in the village of St Magdalena am Lemberg.

The bed-ridden woman, who had lost both her legs to diabetes, died where she lay but her husband was found in the garden having tried to escape.

Police said the suspect's wife was in the house but escaped through a window.

The suspect fled the scene but was found later having stabbed himself in the stomach, said police.

Chief investigator Anton Kiesl said the man was being kept in hospital in an induced coma. The suspect's motives were not immediately clear.

That would never happen in Belgium.
No, school shootings would never happen. But what is more concerning here is that such cases don't just happen in Austria. Just like the Finland school shootings are related, there must be something that makes these things more likely in Austria. There must be a reason we have such high suicide rates in Belgium as well.. I blame the weather. Finland has rather soft gun laws, so what is that makes Austrians go completely insane?
