A university professor in the US state of Georgia wanted for killing his wife and two others has been found dead.

George Zinkhan's body was discovered in woods outside the city of Athens, home to Georgia's biggest university.

Two guns were found with the body, which was covered with soil, though police have not said how he died.

They had been hunting for Mr Zinkhan since 25 April, when he fled the scene of a shooting outside an Athens theatre in which his wife and two others died.

The motive for the shooting is not clear.

Mr Zinkhan had been teaching marketing at the University of Georgia.
