| Admin of AC and DC | 6 die in family murder-suicide in upscale LA home - Yahoo! News By CHRISTINA HOAG, Associated Press Writer 3 minutes ago LOS ANGELES - An unemployed man with an advanced finance degree who was despondent over his own financial problems shot and killed his wife, three children, mother-in-law and then himself in an upscale home in a gated community, police said Monday. Officers found the bodies Monday morning after the wife failed to show up at a neighbor's home to go to work, Deputy Chief Michel Moore said. The deaths occurred sometime after Saturday evening. A handgun that had been bought Sept. 16 was found in the father's grasp, Moore said. Karthik Rajaram, 45, left two suicide notes — one for police and one for friends and relatives — and a will. The notes attest to Rajaram's financial difficulties, and he takes responsibility for killing his family members, Moore said. Officers found the mother-in-law, Indra Ramasesham, 69, dead in bed on the first floor. Upstairs, they found a 19-year-old son, Krishna Rajaram, dead in bed in the master bedroom. The gunman's 39-year-old wife, Subasri, was found in another room, also apparently shot while sleeping, Moore said. In an adjoining room, a 12-year-old son, Ganesha, was dead on the floor, and his 7-year-old brother, Arjuna, was dead in bed. Coroner's assistant chief Ed Winter said the victims were shot multiple times. Rajaram had a master's of business administration in finance, formerly worked for PricewaterhouseCoopers and Sony Pictures, but had been unemployed for several months, Moore said. Moore did not specify what financial trouble the man had been in. He noted that the family did not own the home. PricewaterhouseCoopers spokesman Steven Silber said Karthik Rajaram last worked for the company in 1999, but declined to offer any further information about him, given the time that passed since Rajaram's employement there. Sony Pictures Entertainment spokesman Steve Elzer did not immediately return a call seeking comment. Investigators have determined that Rajaram was at least the part-owner of a financial holding company, Moore said. He is listed as a co-manager of a corporation called SKGL LLC, which is incorporated in Nevada, according to state records. He formed the corporation for his family's assets, said Las Vegas attorney Christopher R. Grobl. He did not know what sort of business SKGL was or why Rajaram incorporated in Nevada. The business was incorporated in 1999 and renewed its annual license in December 2007. The gated community, called Sorrento Pointe, is among several developments along curving lanes and cul-de-sacs set on the foothills of the Santa Susana Mountains in Porter Ranch, about 23 miles northwest of downtown. "It's very quiet here," said Ryan Ransdell, who lives across the street. "That's what's so shocking about this. ... You'd think someone would have heard it. You can hear a car door shut at night." -------------------------------------------------------- ___Really sad

I understand financial problems, I went bankrupt about two years ago. It's hard enough on my own to face that, but I can only imagine with a family and the shame that follows. However, there is nothing in this work that I know of that would drive me to something like that. There are many things in this world I might kill over, but financial issues I doubt is one of them. I'm worried about making my loan payments, finding a job to pay them and so on. But you wont see me enter Sallie Mae or ACS with sawed-off. I think I would just had for a country without extradition. |
