The six men, who were found shot dead near a train station in Duisburg, western Germany, are Italians suspected of links to a criminal feud, BBC reported.

Five bodies were found in two cars outside an Italian restaurant, while a sixth man died on the way to hospital.

A German police spokesman said the victims, aged between 16 and 39, had all been shot in the head.

All six were linked to a clan involved in a long-running and deadly feud in Italy's Calabria region, police said.

The dispute is known as the San Luca feud after the village where it began back in 1991.
