The father's body was found hidden in the garage after police colleagues grew suspicious when he failed to show up to work.

Officers found the mother's body some hours later in a car a few miles from the family's suburban home in Cista Velika.

Their son was arrested 27 hours after the double killing following an alleged high-speed car chase.

Police said the lad was driving erratically in a bid to get away, and they shot at the car’s tyres to get him to stop.

It is alleged that Tin murdered his parents because they refused him permission to go to a party.

The father was shot with his own gun "five or six times" including once in the head, according to reports.

After killing his dad Tin is said to have driven his mum away from the house before also murdering her.

It is claimed Tin then went to a friend's birthday party where he got out of control on drink and drugs.

Tin's friend, Lovre Tabula, said he was asked to leave after he showed up "wired" and shot three bullets into the air.

Lovre is said to have told investigators Tin admitted killing his parents but he thought he was joking.

He said he told him: "Let’s go home. You are drunk and on drugs, you are talking nonsense."

Police say the teen has confessed to the murders, saying that his parents "f***ed him" by not allowing him to go to the party.

A neighbour of the family said: "Their son graduated a few months ago. He seemed like a very fine young man, with good manners.

"We can’t believe that this has happened, we are in shock. They were a very nice family."

Tin is currently in police custody as the investigation continues.
