Three people from the same family were found dead on Friday, showing signs of violence, according to Catalan police (Mossos d'Esquadra) and the Catalan High Court (TSJC). 

The body of a woman was found in a home in the Sant Martí district of Barcelona after 10:00am. 

An hour later, a man's body was found in Molins de Rei, just outside Barcelona. 

The third body was also found in Molins de Rei, another man who apparently died by suicide, according to the police. 

It is suspected that the third body belonged to a man who killed his parents before taking his own life. 

The criminal investigation unit has taken charge of the investigation.
