Killer dad’s chilling suicide note reveals warped mind before he slayed wife and three daughters over fake Covid pass

A DAD left a chilling suicide note before killing his wife and three girls and shooting himself dead over fears his family would be broken up after he faked a Covid pass.

German police found the two adults, both 40, and three kids aged four, eight and 10 dead from gunshot wounds at their home in Koenigs Wusterhausen, Berlin on Saturday.

The dad killed his family and then himself in fear that the kids would be taken away from them

The dad, named by police as school teacher Devid R, wrote a suicide note in which he said he forged a vaccine certificate for his wife Linda.

Her employer - the Technical University (TH) in nearby Wildau - found out about the fake jab passport and the father feared the parents would be jailed and lose custody of their children, prosecutor Gernot Bantleon said.

Speaking about the suicide note, Bantleon told Bild: “In it he literally writes that the university wanted to pursue the vaccination passport forgery 'with the utmost rigor'."

This comes amid new restrictions in Germany meaning unvaccinated workers cannot go into the office and submitting a fake Covid vaccine certificate is a criminal offence.

People who are caught either face a fine or a year's prison term.

However, according to a legal expert who spoke to Bild, Devid R and his wife would not have been jailed over the faked documents and instead would have been fined by authorities.

Officials said it's unclear from the suicide note if wife Linda shared her husband's concerns that his children would be taken away.

Police were alerted by witnesses - who had seen lifeless bodies in the house on Saturday, according to a statement from officials.

Each child was found dead in their own room, reports say.

Police found a gun in the house which Devid must have obtained illegally, local media reports.

Cops said they found no indication that anyone else was present at the time - or that anyone forced their way into the house.

Police said autopsies on the five bodies were underway and will determine how long the family had been dead.

The grisly case comes as Germany tightened up restrictions to try to stem a fourth wave of Covid.

Since last month, employees have been required to show they are vaccinated, recovered or test negative for Covid.

German authorities agreed last week to bar unvaccinated people from access to all but the most essential businesses such as grocery stores, pharmacies and bakeries.

They also plan to make vaccination mandatory for some jobs.
