THE man suspected of shooting dead his daughter and her mum blasted his face off when he tried to kill himself,

THE man suspected of shooting dead his daughter and her mum blasted his face off when he tried to kill himself, it emerged yesterday.
The kick of his double-barrelled shotgun forced it to slip as he pulled the trigger.

He was left "unrecognisable" but is expected to survive. A source told The Sun: "Many will see the horrific wounds as some sort of justice."

Chrissie Chambers, 38, and two-year-old daughter Shania were gunned down in their home on Sunday. Chrissie's ex, David Oakes, was taken to hospital with terrible face wounds.

Oakes - 6ft 4ins and 18 stone - had split with Chrissie seven weeks earlier. He was due to face Chrissie in court over a custody battle for Shania.

Chrissie's other daughter Chelsea, ten, fled the house in Braintree, Essex, after her mum begged her: "Run! Save yourself while you can."

Chelsea clambered from a window in her nightie as the killer forced a gun into her mother's mouth. She ran half a mile to her father Ian Flitt's home.
