ZURICH, Dec 25 (Reuters) - Two men and two women from Liechtenstein found dead this week all belonged to one family, police said on Thursday as they investigate the unusual case in the tiny Alpine principality.
Local police said the body of a 41-year-old man was found on Wednesday on the Swiss side of the bank of the Rhine next to Vaduz, Liechtenstein's capital.
He turned out to be a senior employee of the municipality of Triesen, south of Vaduz, who had been suspended a few days earlier due to irregularities in the accounts, police said.
Police later found the bodies of a 73-year-old man and two women, aged 68 and 45, in a Vaduz apartment. These were the municipality worker's parents and sister, police said. Autopsies are underway to establish what caused the four deaths.
