The debt-ridden father who killed his wife and two young daughters had spent thousands on IVF treatment to have a family, it was claimed today.

and Vicki Case are said to have paid for the fertility procedure at a private clinic after failing to conceive naturally.

It is feared the £10,000-a-time treatment added to a mountain of debt that may have helped pushed him over the edge on Monday.

Mr Case, 33, killed two-and-a-half-year-old Phoebe, 18-month-old Nereya, and stabbed to death his 31-year-old wife before hanging himself at their home.

It also emerged yesterday that the toddlers may have been asphyxiated and not fatally knifed as previously thought.

It is thought Mr Case had convinced himself that he was about to lose everything as he struggled to cope with the 'pressures of modern society'.

Friends have told how they feared that the couple were living beyond their means in the weeks and months leading up to the tragedy.

Both drove relatively new cars - a Land Rover and top-of-the-range Volkswagen Golf - and enjoyed a good social life.

The family had only recently returned to their £700-a-month rented cottage in Fordingbridge, Hampshire, after a holiday in Weymouth, Dorset.

Earlier this week it was discovered that Mrs Case had reached her £7,000 credit card limit and the couple were in serious debt.

It is unknown how much the couple spent on IVF, but it undoubtably took a strain on their finances.

A friend of nursery teacher Mrs Case told The Sun: 'She was desperate for children and they tried for years.

'Andy worked night and day to pay for the IVF.'

Mr Case worked as a delivery driver for Wiltshire-based haulage firm Doccombe European Ltd for three years and was said to be a model employee.

But, in private, it seems he had become increasingly tormented after years of battling debt.

Mr Case had opted for an Individual Voluntary Arrangement (IVA) debt management plan in September 2006 in a bid to pay off his creditors.

This can be taken out by anyone in England and Wales with a total debt of more than £15,000 but who is still in receipt of a regular income, and allow them to pay off a percentage of their debts.

All four bodies were discovered by the children's grandmother Haskell, 56, who had been unable to reach the family by phone earlier on Monday morning.

Shortly after 11.20am she entered the house before running into the street screaming: 'They are all dead - my babies are dead.'

Further post mortem tests are due on the girls.
