Police say two children found dead Wednesday in a Gatineau, Que., home were killed by their father before he took his own life.
Gatineau police said Thursday the two girls, aged three and five, were “beyond any doubt” killed by their 51-year-old father.
They said their conclusion that two murders were followed by a suicide was based on autopsy results and other analysis.
The girls’ bodies showed no signs of violence, police said.
