Horror as devoutly Catholic mother shoots her son, 11, and daughter, nine, dead before killing herself in luxury home... and husband says he was reading a book downstairs

A mother, her 11-year-old son and nine-year-old daughter have been found shot dead in their home in what police suspect was a murder-suicide - while her businessman husband read downstairs. Officers arrived at the large house in the affluent suburb of Glendale, Missouri after 11 a.m on Monday and found the bodies of Cathy Murch and her children in different parts of the home. Investigators believe Mrs Murch shot her children before turning the gun on herself, Glendale police Sgt. Bob Catlett said.
