The victims were found in the area between the leafy suburb of Grefsen and Storo, north of the city centre. The woman was still alive when police arrived at the scene, after having been alerted about a domestic dispute. Initial reports said that several people had been injured after being attacked with a knife.
"When the police patrol arrived, the suspect was waiting for them outside the house, along with a witness who had alerted the police of the triple murder," says police spokeswoman, Grete Løland, to daily newspaper Aftenposten.
According to Løland, the victims and the suspect were related. Two other families live in the house.
Police are uncertain about the motive for the killing. A dozen people were taken from the crime scene. Several will be interviewed as witnesses. All will be offered trauma counselling.
