Seven people have been found dead in a gruesome family massacre that shocked Japan. Six people were found dead in a farmhouse and a seventh in a river.

Japanese media said farmhouse owner Yasuo Iihoshi, 72, his wife Mihoko, 66, their 21-year-old grandson Takumi, and their seven-year-old granddaughter Yui were among the dead.  They were killed by Masahiro, 42, who is the son of Yasuo and Mihoko and the father of Takumi and Yui. Masahiro's wife Mikiko, 41, and 44-year-old family friend Fumiaki Matsuoka were also found dead.

Detectives have said that "family trouble" led to the murder-suicide on Monday morning in the remote mountain village of Takachiho in the south-western prefecture of Miyazaki.
All six who were found in the home had been stabbed. A blood-stained machete was found in the house. Masahiro's body was discovered near the ancient Takachiho Gorge, a popular tourist destination. His car was parked nearby.
