Six die in New Jersey farm killings with arson suspected
Six persons found shot to death in a remote New Brunswick area farmhouse last night. Five victims were murdered and the sixth appeared to have killed himself after shooting the others. One farm hand also died, likely while kneeling at his bed. The killer, a recently hired worker, is believed to have acted alone while others slept. Police investigated the Wellmann farm three miles south of town after milk deliveries ceased. The crime, carried out at the Weitzmann property, shocks a quiet rural community.
