Mansion where businessman Rakesh Kamal killed family in murder-suicide hits market for $4.2m

The house described as "perfect for entertaining" has a dark and sinister history as it hits the market for $4.2 million.

The impressive Massachusetts home boasts 11-bedroom and 12.5-bathroom, but it's also where businessman Rakesh Kamal, 57, fatally shot his 54-year-old wife, Teena, and 18-year-old Arianna during a horrific murder -suicide inside the huge Dover home on December 28, 2023.

The bodies were found by Rakesh's brother Manoj, as the entrepreneur shot himself after killing his family, but the house listing has no mention of the killings, and is instead described as an "exceptional, custom-designed estate on 5 acres perfectly situated at the end of a private cul-de-sac."

"This home is seamlessly integrated into the idyllic, manicured grounds overlooking wooded hiking paths, bridle trails, and a tranquil pond in the extremely desirable Wilsons Way neighborhood," according to Realtor.com. It also comes with a four car garage on it's "meticulously maintained" 19,000 square feet estate.

Built in 2000, the Massachusetts mansion is being sold for $4.2 million, and at the time of the tragic murder-suicide, was estimated to be worth $5.45 million according to New York Post. "A perfect home for entertaining, this property offers a 14-seat home theater, relaxing family room with a floor-to-ceiling stone fireplace, 20×40 indoor pool, fully-equipped gym, sauna with a steam shower, extensive storage, and 5, 000 bottle wine cellar," the listing added.

"This estate is completed by multiple, sun-drenched stone verandas showcasing peaceful views of the sweeping property." The area is described as one of the "richest in the state" and a "nice neighborhood, a safe community" by Norfolk County District Attorney Michael Morrissey.

The Kamals bought the sprawling home for $ 4 million in 2019, but sadly the couple faced financial problems in recent years. The mansion went into foreclosure a year before the killings, and sold to Massachusetts-based Wilsondale Associates LLC for $3 million, according to property records obtained by The Post.

It's believed that Rakesh used a 40-caliber Glock 22 as the weapon which was found in the home, and wasn't registered to him. On the day of their deaths, the family had been ordered to evict the property as Rakesh had amassed a huge debt from the $3.8 million mortgage, as well as a six-figure loan from a family member.

There had also been a string of poor business deals which accounted for the financial struggles. It was claimed Rakesh, a software developer and entrepreneur borrowed $500,000 from his brother-in-law Sandeep Bedi and "a substantial sum of money" from his brother Manoj, two separate affidavits seen by the Boston Globe .

Police responded to a 911 call on December 28, and found a typed note addressed to the person scheduled to pick up the keys. According to the Boston Globe , the 63-page police report detailed what was on the note that read: "Please note, before entering call the Police to first check three bedrooms on the second floor. Each room will be marked by a white sheet of paper." Cops then found each of the bodies behind the marked doors

Just four days before her death, The Globe also shared that Rakesh's wife Teena had requested a change to her $1.25 million life insurance policy. She sought to make her husband and daughter the primary and added Rakesh's brother Manoj Kamal as the contingent or backup beneficiary.

Now Teena's brother Sandeep Bedi and Manoj have been head to head in a court battle as they uncover their sibling' dark financial past and Manoj had filed a claim with the life insurance company to collect the payout from the policy.
