The murder of the six victims happened shortly before 9.30 pm on Thursday in a house on Cimermanova Street, in the Kajzerica neighborhood of New Zagreb.

Only a seven-month-old baby, who was not injured, survived. Among those killed were two men, three women, and a 10-year-old child.

This is official information coming from the police, although earlier reports spoke about four children being among the victims.

According to Croatian media, it is believed that the motive for the massacre was jealousy.
