Former Leicestershire police inspector Toby Day unlawfully killed his wife and six-year-old daughter before taking his own life, a coroner ruled today.
Mr Day, who was sacked by Leicestershire police for misconduct, strangled and stabbed his wife Samantha and youngest daughter Genevieve at their home in Robin Crescent, Melton, before turning the knife on himself.
The couple's surviving children Kimberley, 15, and Adam, 14, were also injured in the attack on December 8 last year.
Rutland and North Leicestershire Coroner Trevor Kirkman gave the verdict today at an inquest in Loughborough.
