A suspected double murder-suicide has shaken a family from Davangere, Karnataka, as three of its members were tragically found dead in Baltimore, Maryland, USA.

The exact circumstances surrounding their deaths remain to be determined, as reported by the Baltimore County Police Department.

The victims, a couple and their son hailing from Halekal village in the Davangere district had been residing in the US for the past nine years. Both parents were software engineers.

According to authorities, the incident unfolded on Friday, August 18, 2023, when officers responded to a welfare check call at their residence on Kenilworth Dr. The devastating discovery was made as two adults and one child were found deceased inside their home.

Each victim bore apparent gunshot wounds, leading law enforcement to suspect a double murder-suicide. The initial findings suggest that the father is the suspected perpetrator of the tragic incident. The Office of the Chief Medical Officer is set to conduct a comprehensive examination to determine the exact manner and cause of death.

The family members were last seen alive on the evening of Tuesday, August 15. As news of their untimely demise reached their hometown, Davangere district collector Venkatesh MV visited the grieving family to convey his condolences.

Efforts are being made to bring the bodies back to Davangere, pending the completion of the local investigation. Discussions with consulate officials and relevant authorities are ongoing to ensure that the circumstances surrounding the incident are fully understood.

The US local police have categorized the deaths as unnatural, underlining the complexity of the situation.

As the investigation unfolds, the community both in the US and in India awaits a more comprehensive understanding of this tragic event.
