An autopsy indicates that the father and husband of the home, Rakesh Kamal, 57, shot his wife, Teena Kamal, 54, and his daughter, Arianna Kamal, 18, before turning the pistol on himself, according to findings from the Office of the Chief Medical Examiner for Massachusetts.

A final autopsy report should be completed in the coming weeks, according to the Norfolk District Attorney’s office.

Rakesh Kamal did not have a license nor registration for the .40 caliber Glock 22 found near his body at the crime scene at 8 Wilson’s Way, a private street in Dover.

The home was last assessed at nearly $6.8 million for both land and building, the Herald reported last week, and the lender had foreclosed on the Kamal’s mortgage a year ago. The Kamals were underwater financially, a Herald review of legal and financial records indicated.

This is a developing story.
