Police suspect a deliberately-started fire which killed a family-of-three in their foreclosed home in north-west Germany on Wednesday night was suicide.
A 42-year-old man, his 46-year-old wife and their 6-year-old daughter were all killed in the fire in Wiefelstede in Lower Saxony.
"We're treating this as a suicide," said police spokesman Mathias Kutzner on Thursday. "We don't have any clues pointing to another explanation."
The investigators have evidence that financial problems, including the foreclosure of their home, were weighing down on the family. Kutzner referred to a letter found in the ruins of the home, as well as online posts which hinted they were under financial stress.
All three were still alive at the point the fire broke out, according to police, but died after the blaze caused a loud explosion in the house.

"He who can, does. He who cannot, teaches."
"Being is substance and life; life manifests by movement; movement is perpetuated by equilibrium; equilibrium is therefore the law of immortality.
"The doctrine of equality!... But there exists no more poisonous poison: for it seems to be preached by justice itself, while it is the end of justice.... "Equality for equals, inequality for unequals" that would be the true voice of justice: and, what follows from it, "Never make equal what is unequal."
