May 28, 2019 | 2:05 PM

CALGARY — Police in Calgary say a young woman was killed and her teen sister badly injured at the hands of their father who also died in an explosion at their home.

Investigators believe Heidar Dehdari was fighting with his daughters in their suburban northwest Calgary house on the weekend before he intentionally set a fire.

Police say he and 22-year-old Dorsa Dehdari died, but investigators aren’t sure whether the father intended to kill himself along with his daughters.

The other daughter, identified in court documents as 15-year-old Dorna Dehdari, suffered life-altering injuries.

Staff Sgt. Martin Shiavetta says it was a case of domestic violence and there had been a lot of tension in the home.

He says police went there in December for a domestic call related to a verbal confrontation.
