by Indian-Origin Family Found Dead in California Home in Apparent Murder-Suicide
In a devastating turn of events, an Indian-origin family, including their 4-year-old twin boys, has been discovered dead at their residence in San Mateo, California. The authorities are currently investigating the case as a murder-suicide, adding to the growing number of tragedies affecting the Indian community in the United States.
The victims have been identified as Anand Sujith Henry, his wife Alice Priyanka, and their 4-year-old twin boys, according to friends who knew the family. However, the police have not yet released the official identities of the victims.
The incident unfolded on Monday when a concerned individual reported to the police that they hadn’t heard from the family for an extended period. The police responded by conducting a welfare check at the residence and found no signs of forced entry upon examining the exits of the home.
To their horror, law enforcement officials discovered four deceased individuals inside the house, including an adult male, an adult female, and the twin boys. Jerami Surratt, a public information officer with the San Mateo Police Department, confirmed that the case is being treated as a murder-suicide.
In a tragic revelation, court records indicate that the husband had filed for divorce back in December 2016, although it appears that the process was not finalized. The bodies of the two young children were found in a bedroom, and while they did not have gunshot wounds, the exact cause of their death remains unknown pending autopsy results.
The man and woman were discovered in a bathroom with gunshot wounds. Police recovered a 9-millimeter pistol and a loaded magazine in the same bathroom.
Authorities have assured the public that this appears to be an isolated incident, and there is no immediate danger to the community. They believe that the person responsible for the deaths was present within the home.
The Indian community in the United States has witnessed a series of tragic incidents in recent months, with several individuals losing their lives under shocking circumstances. These incidents serve as a painful reminder of the vulnerabilities faced by the community, leaving families and friends devastated.
As investigations continue into this heartbreaking incident, the community mourns the loss of yet another Indian-origin family. The impact of these tragedies reaches far beyond the individuals involved, leaving a lasting mark on the community and law enforcement officials alike.
