Both victims died from gunfire, presumably from the same weapon, said forensic doctor Héctor Meza.
The father was a scientist from Bavaria. His Paraguayan papers were issued in 2016, so he had lived in the South American country for at least five years, at least temporarily. Media reports said that he also repaired musical instruments such as violins.
