The doors were fastened, and Morrison's son, aged twelve, was found dead, sitting in a chair in the kitchen, with a gunshot wound in the head. The charred corpses of Mrs Morrison and her brother, Daniel Mclntosh, were found in an adjoining bedroom, where there was a gun on the floor. There, is no clue or attributable cause.
