#2 It looks like it was a family quarrel:

Csanad Horvath, 24, was detained near the scene of the killings in an area of moorland in the village of Kulcs, around 60 kilometers (40 miles) outside the capital Budapest.

The MTI state news agency quoted police sources as saying Horvath had killed his father, his grandparents and his older brother following a row.

His mother, sister and a close relative were also badly injured in the attack and were now being treated in hospital.

#8 Family quarrel? We all know the real reason for this kind of violence is the easy access to swords in Hungary which is, of course, due to the weak sword legislation in the United States.
