A pensioner has been found guilty of murdering his partner and her daughter after he shot them both dead at his puppy farm in Surrey.
John Lowe, 82, from Farnham, had denied two counts of murder and a firearms charge.
During the trial at Guildford Crown Court, Lowe claimed the deaths of Christine Lee, 66, and Lucy Lee, 40, were "a terrible accident".
But jurors also heard he told police he wanted both women "put down".
The court heard a frantic 999 call from Lucy Lee, who told the operator: "I don't know if I'm going to be alive if I go back in there. He shot my mum."
'Scene of carnage'Mark Dennis QC, prosecuting, told the trial police officers were met with a "scene of carnage" when they arrived at the farm in February.

Christine Lee's body was found inside the main building, while the body of Lucy Lee was discovered outside, near the animal pens.
Following the verdict, Christine Lee's sister, Julia James, said: "John Lowe will never pay for taking the innocent lives of my sister Christine and my niece Lucy Lee.
"Christine was mother, auntie and grandmother and was much loved.
"Christine and Lucy put the needs of others first, my sister had a heart of gold and was full of life. Lucy believed in protecting life and being kind to others."
She added: "I witnessed on numerous occasions how caring Christine and Lucy had been towards Lowe. It has been heart-breaking listening to his lies."
Lowe told the court he never intended to kill the women but his gun went off three times accidently.
Lowe will be sentenced at Guildford Crown Court on 31 October.
