nevada Posted April 11, 2021 Posted April 11, 2021 There was a similar incident in the bay area a few years ago, except the brothers were alive with both the parents murdered. The family also was from Bangladesh. At first police thought it was an outsider who did it, but later they arrested the brothers. https://www.indiawest.com/news/global_indian/bangladeshi-couple-found-murdered-in-san-jose-home-sons-arrested/article_1a32334e-0e37-11e6-8cb9-5b3b46e36163.html

What an incredibly sad story! RIP The pressure of most south Asian families on education, with a motto of "If you fail, you lose in life", alongside the intense family/social focus on academic success, can be overpowering.

Not at all, apparently the brothers were very smart and got into UT Austin Computer Science. They were depressed and thought of shooting their family members because if they died then their family would suffer, instead shoot everyone so no one suffers. nevada 1
BacktoCricaddict Posted April 11, 2021 Posted April 11, 2021 5 miles from my home: https://www.indiawest.com/news/global_indian/indian-american-teen-who-fatally-strangled-mom-in-argument-over-pizza-gets-12-15-year/article_542e53ee-ff15-11e8-a751-3794a3585829.html A North Carolina teenager who strangled his mother after a disagreement over pizza was sentenced Nov. 30 to 12 to 15 years in state prison. Indian American Arnav Uppalapati was 16 at the time he committed the heinous crime in his Cary, North Carolina home. But he is now 19 and will serve his sentence in prison rather than a juvenile detention center. Uppalapati himself called police after he strangled his mother, saying that intruders had entered the home. But from the start of the investigation, the boy was always considered a person of interest in the case. He pleaded guilty after his DNA was found at the crime scene. According to prosecutors, on the night of the fatal strangling, Uppalapati angered his mother, Nalini Tellaprolu, 51 at the time of her death, by ordering a pizza. His mom allegedly slapped him. Uppalapati then grabbed a plastic bag, which he put over his mother’s head to choke her to death. coffee_rules 1
