Austrian man kills in-laws with flame-thrower 
Vienna - A 48-year-old Austrian man allegedly has murdered his wife's parents with a home-made flame-thrower, Austrian news agency APA reported Saturday. The attack occurred Friday evening. 
The suspect's 84-year-old mother-in-law burned to death in her bed after she was torched with a modified propane-gas bottle. As she had lost both legs due to diabetes, she had no way of escaping. 
Her 84-year-old husband was found dead outside the house the elderly couple shared with their daughter and son-in-law in Lemberg in Styria province. 
Police said an antagonistic relationship between the two couples living under one roof could have led to the murder.

    Thank God they have those gun laws in Europe or those people might have been killed! Oh wait...
Further proof that if you want someone dead you will find a way to do it...even if guns are outlawed.

    The suspect unsuccessfully tried to kill himself with a knife after the incident and was apprehended by police near the crime scene.Don't bring a knife to a flame-thrower party?

    I wonder what caused their issues to flare up to such an extent?

    I've heard many stories about men who dislike their in-laws but this guy must have really hated them. Maybe this story will make some in-laws think twice before they screw around with their children's marriage.

I would say the definition of the issues is right there.

    There’s nothing much to it, really. Some issues just have a tendency to get folks fired up.
