Three people have been found dead in a Bavarian hotel room with crossbow bolts in their bodies.

The corpses and two crossbows were discovered around noon on Saturday in the remote riverside hotel in the city of Passau near the Austrian border. All three of the deceased were German.

They were a 33-year-old woman and a 53-year-old man from Rhineland-Palatinate state and a 30-year-old woman from Lower Saxony, who had jointly booked the room on Friday reported AFP.

At this time, authorities said there was no initial suggestion anyone else was involved.

Post-mortems will be carried out in coming days.
