Woman and her husband shot dead by her dad in New Year horror

A dad reportedly gunned down his daughter and her new husband on New Year's Eve before turning the gun on himself.

The gunman, thought to be the estranged father of Lindita Musai, is under police guard in hospital after the festive horror which saw the 25-year-old woman and her new husband shot dead at an address in Melbourne, Australia.

The suspected killer, who police said was a 55-year-old man, was said to have blasted 29-year-old Veton Musai and his wife at around 10.30am on Tuesday.

A witness then reportedly saw him jump out of a bush and put a gun to his chin before pulling the trigger.

Veton's cousin Jetmir Lumani today posted on Facebook : "Today we lost my beautiful baby cousin Veton Musai and his angel wife Lindita Musai..... I can't even begin to explain how I feel.

"The only thing keeping us strong is belief in God.

"How a father can take his own daughters (sic) life is beyond comprehension.. but the devil truly is among us."

The couple had just celebrated their first wedding anniversary. // <\/s'+'cript>'); // --> //]]> From ICE
