A father of three who gunned down his wife and 19-year-old daughter before killing himselfhad been upset following the breakdown of his marriage, it was claimed last night.

Builders’ merchant, Lance Hart, 57, shot his wife of 26-years, Claire, after confronting her in a swimming pool car park near their home in Spalding, Lincolnshire at around 9am yesterday.

He then blasted their daughter, Charlotte, a university student who was at home for the summer holidays, and had been with her mother, before turning the weapon on himself.
