A press release issued by the office of Norfolk District Attorney Michael Morrissey on Tuesday said that autopsy results issued by the Office of the Chief Medical Examiner confirm that Teena and her daughter Arianna were victims of homicide by gunshot.
Rakesh died from a “gunshot wound consistent with being self-inflicted." The final autopsy report is likely to be completed in the coming weeks.
The release further said that while full forensic and ballistics testing of the gun has not been finalized, the firearm found with Rakesh is consistent with a.40 caliber Glock 22.
However, the firearm was not registered in Rakesh's name, and “he was not licensed to possess it,” the release added.
T
he Massachusetts State Police have contacted the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms, and Explosives for assistance in determining the origin of the firearm. The incident remains under investigation by Dover and the Massachusetts State Police.
Last week, Morrissey said that the initial investigation indicated the incident was a case of domestic violence and did not initially indicate the involvement of outside parties.
Dover Police received a 911 call requesting a response to the Kamal residence at approximately 7:24 p.m. on December 28 by a family member who had stopped by to check on the family.
The police found the Kamal family dead when they arrived on the scene. Investigators had worked the crime scene through much of the night.
Dover is about 32 kilometers southwest of downtown Boston, the capital of Massachusetts.
Morrissey has said that there have been no prior police reports or domestic incidents tied to the home. The family's sprawling mansion, estimated to be worth USD 5.45 million, went into foreclosure a year ago and was sold for USD 3 million, according to a report in The New York Post.
