'Dad shot me': Dying words of daughter, 19, as she and her mother were killed by her father as a 'punishment for leaving him' before he turned the shotgun on himself, leaving behind a note saying: 'Karma is a bitch'



A 'bullying' husband wrote 'karma is a b***h' before he shot dead his wife and daughter after he ambushed them outside a leisure centre when she left him after 26 years, an inquest heard today.
Lance Hart, 57, penned a 12-page suicide note before he blasted his wife Claire, 50, and their 19-year-old daughter Charlotte before turning the shotgun on himself in Spalding on July 20.
As he ate a 'last supper' of paella and wine in his garden on the night before the murders he wrote: 'Revenge is a dish best served cold. Karma is a b***h'. 
The killer also said his three children were 'conspiring' against him so to spite his surviving two sons he chose to murder their mother and only sister.
In a message to his family he wrote:  'You completely destroyed my life without giving me a chance so I will destroy yours.'
Horrified witnesses rushed to help and found Claire and her estranged husband dead but Charlotte was still alive and used her final words to say: 'It was my dad who shot me'. 
Hart knew his wife was going swimming with Charlotte and lay in wait for them in the leisure centre's car park in Spalding, Lincolnshire before gunning them down.
