Ex-Meta engineer shoots wife, 4-year-old twins in murder-suicide at their $2.1M Bay Area home

A former Meta engineer, his data scientist wife and their two 4-year-old twins were found dead inside their $2.1 million California home in what police are investigating as a murder-suicide.

Anand Sujith Henry, 37, allegedly killed his sons and fatally shot his wife, Alice Benzinger, 38, in a bathtub before turning the gun on himself, sources told KTVU.

The couple were found dead inside the house with gunshot wounds beside a 9mm pistol and a loaded magazine inside one of the bathrooms Monday morning after police were called for a welfare check, authorities have said.

Their two sons were found dead inside one of the five bedrooms.

A cause of death for the two young children has not been released, but it is believed the boys were either smothered, strangled or given a lethal overdose because there was no sign of trauma to their bodies, sources familiar with the investigation told NBC Bay Area.

A motive for the deaths remains unclear, as cops continue their investigation.
