A decorated New York policeman who gunned down his two daughters before turning the weapon on himself has reportedly left his wife and surviving child destitute.
Glen Hochman was claimed to have submitted retirement papers just weeks before the double murder suicide and deliberately not named an inheritor for his pension.
A family friend described it as a 'final insult,' according to the New York Post.
'It’s reckless and insulting for any man to leave their family high and dry like that, by choosing the zero option on their pension, the source reportedly told the newspaper.
Dead: Glen Hochman, 52, a police officer of 22 years who only retired in January, is believed to have murdered his two daughters Deanna Hochman, 13 (center) and Alissa Hochman, 17, on Saturday afternoon

'...He effectively stole the future away from the family he left behind.'
The 52-year-old, who served White Plains for 22 years, executed his daughters, Alissa, 17, and Deanna, 13, along with three family dogs at their home in Harrison, about 20 miles outside Manhattan.
He then shot himself dead.
His wife, Anamarie, 50, and their eldest daughter, Samantha, were not at home at the time of the incident.
At the time of the double murder suicide it was understood that Hochman and his wife were having marital problems.
Harrison Police Chief Anthony Marraccini said officers visited the home after receiving reports of no answers at the door.
Killed: Alissa Hochman, 17, a senior at Harrison High School, and Deanna Hochman, 13, were found dead, along with their father, on Saturday afternoon
Scene: Police arrived at this home at 1 Adelphi Avenue in the Westchester County village of Harrison on Saturday night to find Glen Hochman, 52, a former local cop, and his two teen daughters dead
Police dispatched to the scene made the grim discovery of the bodies and a six-page note penned by Hochman.
His body was found in the garage while those of Alissa and Deanna were found on 'the main level' of the house.

'Officer Hochman served this department and the city of White Plains with honor and integrity for over 22 years.'
Last year, Hochman won the department's life-saving award for keeping an unresponsive man alive until paramedics arrived.
Hochman suffered an Achilles' injury in early May when he fell while helping a disabled motorist, reports Lohud.
He had time off to recover according to his union lawyer, Warren Roth, who had known Hochman for more than 25 years, since both worked as EMTs with the Harrison ambulance corps.
He said Hochman sought a disability retirement because of the injury but had not been depressed over it as he was planning for retirement soon anyway
'It's just devastating to a lot of people,' Roth said.
'He was always a quiet, reserved guy, nothing ever seemed to unsettle him. ... And he was wonderful with his daughters, a devoted father. That's the scary part. There was absolutely no seeing this coming.'
Residents of the upper middle-class neighborhood discussed the shootings in quiet tones as they shoveled snow Sunday.
Howard Hollander, 52, an airline pilot who lives five doors down from the Hochmans, said Hochman 'was always taking care of the property, landscaping, cleaning up the yard.'
'The girls said hi whenever they passed,' Hollander said. 'I remember one was learning to drive and beeped at us as she went by.'
He added, 'There was no indication at all of any problem, that something like this would happen.'
