They then fled the scene in Peixoto de Azevedo, Brazil, in a pickup truck, with the mum’s husband acting as the getaway driver.
Pilson Pereira da Silva, 69, and 81-year-old Rui Luiz Bogo died on the spot, while José Roberto Domingos was injured.
The 45-year-old priest had surgery on Monday (22 Apr) and is out of danger, as reported on Need to Know.
The alleged shooters have been identified as Ines Gemilaki, 48, and 28-year-old Bruno Gemilaki Dal Poz.
Rui’s daughter Janete Bogo, 40, told local media: “Initially, the victims thought it was a robbery.”
She claimed: “My father didn’t even leave the table because he saw it was Ines, and he could never have imagined she would do such a thing.
“The gate was open, they arrived and entered.
“Unfortunately, my father remained seated.”
Ines, a cattle rancher, and Bruno, a doctor, are being sought by the police, along with Ines’s husband, 45-year-old Marcio Ferreira Gonçalves.
They were spotted buying beer, water, and soft drinks as they passed through Matupá, about eight miles from the crime scene, on Sunday (21 Apr) afternoon.
The police say that hours before the crime, Ines filed a report against the owner of the house where the killings happened.
She claimed that her family had been receiving threats in connection with a lawsuit she had won concerning a rental contract.
Ines reportedly told the police that a day earlier, three men had broken into her house looking for her.
Only her husband was in at the time, and they had allegedly told him that Ines owed them money and had also allegedly threatened her son.
Ines also told the police that she had been sent intimidating messages about a debt she claimed she did not owe.
Chief Detective Anna Marien believes the motive for the shooting is a dispute about rent payments for the house where the crime happened.
She said: “The suspect was renting that property from the owner and, upon leaving the residence, left some debts, which led to a lawsuit.
“This led to several disputes and misunderstandings between them, ultimately resulting in this heinous crime.”
She says the shooter’s target was the homeowner, but he was not hit.
The chief detective said: “The suspect left the house with some debts, and they always argued, which ultimately led to this.
“The deceased had no relation to the debt.”
