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.

At least 600 taken to hospital after 70 killed in Cameroon train derailment



Rescue workers are searching for more injured or dead after accident on line between capital Yaoundé and economic hub of Douala


Authorities in Cameroon rushed more than 600 injured people to hospitals in the country’s two main cities on Saturday a day after an overcrowded train derailed, killing more than 70 people.
Bodies remained strewn along the tracks at Eseka, which is about 75 miles west of Yaoundé, as rescue workers searched for more injured or dead. The injured were being taken to hospitals in the capital, Yaoundé, and the port city where the train was heading, Douala, officials said, as the president declared Monday to be a national day of mourning.
“My sincere condolences to the families of the victims of the derailment of the Camrail train,” President Paul Biya said on his official Facebook page. About 70 people died and 600 were wounded, he said, and the cause of the crash was being investigated.

The local hospital, with only about 60 beds, had been overwhelmed, said transport minister Edgard Alain Mebe Ngo’o. “I am calling on everyone to double efforts to save the lives of the injured,” he said.
