WINCHESTER, Mass. - A law enforcement official says authorities have captured a man accused of killing his wife, two children and mother-in-law in their suburban Boston home.

The capture of 43-year-old Thomas Mortimer IV on Thursday in far northwestern Massachusetts came just hours after he was charged with four counts of murder.

On Wednesday, Mortimer's 41-year-old wife, Laura; her 64-year-old mother Ellen Stone, his 4-year-old son Thomas and 2-year-old daughter Charlotte were found dead in their Winchester home.

Mortimer was last seen at his job at M&R Consultants Corp., a Burlington technology consulting firm, on Monday around 6 p.m., said Anil Shah, the company's president.

2. Good, but too late to save his family.

It's so sickening in so many ways.

3. Glad they caught the guy in this horrible crime.

I wonder what his motive was. When I hear these kinds of stories, I'm always extremely curious as to the motive, probably because it's hard to believe anybody would do something like that. What were they thinking?!
