Perth's West Australian premier condemns the "chilling and horrific" murder of a mother and daughter in their home by a man seeking his former partner, describing the act as "senseless." The gunman, 63, fatally shot the women, aged 59 and 18, after failing to find his ex-wife at the Floreat residence, before taking his own life. The premier, Roger Cook, said the community should reflect on the deaths and consider how they can make the world a safer place.
