A dad-of-two who annihilated his own family before taking his own life participated in a family FaceTime before the slaughter, an inquest heard.
Robert Needham, 42, used a legally-obtained shotgun to kill daughters, Ava, four, Lexi, two, wife Kelly Fitzgibbons, 40, and the family dog Billy before turning it on himself.
Today, coroner Bridget Dolan QC apologised to the families saying she was sorry the inquest had not answered the single biggest question of why Needham carried out such an act.
