A former software engineer at Meta and Google allegedly murdered his wife and 4-year-old twins in what police are investigating as a murder-suicide.
Anand Sujith Henry, 37, and his data scientist wife Alice Benziger, 38, along with their 4-year-old twins, were found dead inside their $2.1 million estate in San Mateo, California.
The New York Post reported Henry shot and killed his wife inside their bathtub before turning the gun on himself.
NBC Bay Area reported the boys were either smothered, strangled, or poisoned due to there being no sign of outside trauma on their bodies.
It was reported Henry previously filed for divorce from his wife in 2016, but the divorce was never finalized.

Per The New York Post:
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.
