    BEIRUT: A man killed his daughter and shot his wife before committing
    suicide on Tuesday, according to a security source.

    A man of Armenian origin, identified as 60 year-old Zaven, shot and
    killed his 6-year-old daughter Julie and shot his 40 year-old wife
    Hazmik in the leg, before killing himself.

    The source said emotional and personal reasons were behind the murders
    that occurred around 9:30 pm. The source added the man suffered from
    psychological problems.

    The source explained that Zaven had been having a dispute with his
    wife, who allegedly cheated on him while he was away working in the US.

    The source said Zaven also lived a double life, married with two
    children in the US.

    "Every time he came to Lebanon he had a disagreement with his wife
    Hazmik. When he came back a week ago, he told her that he brought
    her a gift from America," the source added.

    "He asked her to make some coffee and when she returned from the
    kitchen he pointed a gun at her and said, 'I'm going to make you cry
    and make your heart burn for your daughter.' He then shot her four
    times and one shot hit the leg ... It took one shot to kill the child."

    The bodies of Zaven and his daughter were transported to the Serhal
    Hospital in Rabieh, where Hazmik is currently being treated.

    Security forces were not able to locate any relatives of the victims
    and the Armenian political party Tashnag has been contacted for help.
