Wat a life A Man Killed 14 Members Of His Family With A Knife Before Committing Suicide

A 35-year-old man killed 14 members of his family including six children with a butcher’s knife before committing suicide in India, with police baffled Sunday about a motive for the attack.

The grisly murders occurred after Hasnin Anwar Warekar and his extended family gathered late on Saturday at a home north of India’s financial capital of Mumbai for a family function, police officers said.

“The attacker, Hasnin Anwar Warekar, hung himself after slitting the throats of all other family members including his parents,” Gajanan Laxman Kabdule, a police spokesman in Thane, some 32 kilometres (20 miles) from Mumbai, said.

The sole survivor of the attack — Warekar’s sister — was taken to hospital after neighbours heard her screaming for help after midnight and alerted police.

Neighbours were forced to open a window to rescue the woman after the assailant allegedly locked all escape routes from the house before carrying out the attacks, according to local media reports.

“We still haven’t been able to speak with the attacker’s 21-year-old sister, the lone survivor of the attack, who is in deep trauma at a city hospital,” Kabdule told AFP.

Warekar, who reportedly worked for a private firm in Mumbai, was able to carry out the attacks after lacing the food at the gathering with a sedative, according to several local media reports.

But the Indian Express newspaper said he stabbed his victims after they went to bed, having all decided to spend the night at the house in Thane.
