An
Indian man allegedly killed 14 family members, including eight children, with a
knife before taking his own life Sunday, a police spokesman said.
Husnain
Anwar Warekar, 35, put sedatives in his relatives' food before slashing their
throats with a knife, according to Gajanan Kabdule, a police spokesman in the
western Indian city of Thane.
The
victims included Warekar's 28-year-old wife and two daughters who are between
ages three months and 6.
He
also killed his 65-year-old father and 55-year-old mother; three of his sisters
between ages 28 and 34; and six of the sisters' children.
One
woman survived the attack and called for help, but by the time police arrived,
Warekar had hanged himself, police said.
The
incident happened in Thane on the outskirts of Mumbai, India's financial
capital. The family had gathered for an event at Warekar's home Saturday, and
were staying overnight.
Kabdule
said the motive for the killings is unknown, but an investigation is underway.
