"They agreed to die together" .. An old Austrian kills his sick wife and then commits suicide

Yesterday, a police spokeswoman in Austria said that an elderly man killed his sick wife in a cemetery and then committed suicide.

The two bodies were discovered in Graz, the country's second largest city, near a grave previously dedicated to the woman, according to local media.

Investigators found a note at the scene in which the couple announced that they had agreed to commit suicide together.

The 75-year-old noted in the memo that he was motivated by the illness of his 71-year-old wife, whose life is limited to being in a wheelchair.

The old man shot his wife in the head first, then immediately shot him in the head again.

A woman told the police that two people were covered in blood in the cemetery, while the police found the murder weapon in the husband's hand.
