Initial readings suggest that twin brothers were in some sort of dispute over the assignments of a will when one of them flipped out and killed his twin and the family lawyer.
Then it was "in for a penny, in for a pound" and the killer went on a shooting spree.
Killer Derrick Bird held a gun licence for 20 years before an apparent family feud sparked a rampage which left 12 dead and 11 more injured.And a psychiatrist examines the snap-and-kill phenomenon.
As more stories of Bird's three-hour massacre in Cumbria emerged, police tried to piece together why the quiet taxi driver snapped, taking potshots at random strangers but also targeting his brother and family solicitor.
It is believed his first victim was his twin David and reports suggested the pair were locked in a row over a will.
Bird, 52, of Rowrah, then gunned down family solicitor Kevin Commons, 60, at the lawyer's home in Frizington, west Cumbria.
He drove on to the town of Whitehaven, where he shot at least three fellow taxi drivers, killing Darren Rewcastle.The Independent/UK
