A man being sought after a teenage girl and boy were killed in a suspected domestic violence-related shooting at a home in Sydney’s northwest has reportedly been found dead.
The suspect’s body was found at another home in Normanhurst, about seven kilometres from the scene of the initial killings, early on Friday morning, NSW Police have confirmed.
It’s believed the man was the father of the children and aged in his 50s.
The 15-year-old boy and a 13-year-old girl were found shot dead in their bedrooms at a house in Hull Road at West Pennant Hills shortly before 5.30pm on Thursday.

So the parents were engaged in a custody battle. In the most terrible way possible the mother has been vindicated. When are we going to stop tolerating controlling, coercive, entitled and violent behaviour in domestic situations (or any situations for that matter)? At the very least, the murderering father killed himself, saving the mother a horrible ordeal of a trial and all the usual BS excuses men like this trot out (before getting some half-arsed sentence). My heart goes out to this mother.
Here we go again ‘HELL HATH NO FURY LIKE A ‘MAN’ SCORNED. If men would just stop being ‘bitchy’.
