Hanover, Germany, Safar 13, 1437, Nov 25, 2015, SPA -- Police in the central German city of Hanover are investigating the death of a family of four, with initial investigations suggesting the mother killed her two children before committing suicide, dpa reported. No names have been released in the case as the inquiry continues. Neighbours have said the couple had been living separately for a while and that there had been disputes about parental visits. The body of the husband was discovered by his parents in his home in the community of Gleidingen, south-east of Hanover, on Tuesday. Since the family had initially lived there together, a search was started for the mother and children, leading to the discovery of their bodies in a Hanover flat. Investigators said they are working under the assumption that the mother, 35, killed her 9-year-old son and 3-year-old daughter before taking her own life. However, they released no details. The autopsy of the father, 35, was still under way. No theory about the cause of his death has been aired. -- SPA 23:13 LOCAL TIME 20:13 GMT www.spa.gov.sa/w
