'Friendly' local handyman in Maine murders family

A handyman with financial problems has shot dead his wife and three children before committing suicide, in what police in Maine say is one of the worst cases of domestic violence in state history.

Joel Smith presented a friendly face at the 61-unit flats complex in Saco where he worked. But he was having domestic and financial problems, and his wife told a family friend that he had recently threatened to kill himself, police said.
