A 16-year-old boy has confessed to shooting dead his sleeping parents and 10-year-old twin brothers with a hunting rifle in Corsica.
Police found the four bodies and the rifle after he told them what he had done.
A spokeswoman said they were trying to determine what exactly happened in the incident which happened on Tuesday night in the village of Albitreccia.
The killings were only discovered a day later when the boy described the attack to an uncle. He described shooting his father and mother, aged 43 and 45, and brothers in their beds.
