A 35-year-old Indian man killed 14 members of his own family, including seven children and his parents, before killing himself, police say.<\/p>\n
Reports suggest Hasnin Warekar laced his family’s food with sedatives before slitting their throats.<\/p>\n
Neighbours from the home in Thane, near Mumbai, were alerted to the attack by the screaming of the man’s sister, who survived the attack.<\/p>\n
Police say it is still unclear why Warekar carried out the attack.<\/p>\n
Authorities are yet to question Warekar’s sister, Thane police spokesman Gajanan Laxman Kabdule told AFP, as she was “in deep trauma” at a city hospital.<\/p>\n
“He used a big knife. He killed his parents, his sisters and his sisters’ children. He slit their throats” Mr Kabdule said.<\/p>\n
The Press Trust of India news agency reported that the youngest victim was his three-month-old daughter, and the oldest his 55-year-old father.<\/p>\n
He also killed six of his sisters’ children, the report said.<\/p>\n
The attack began in the early hours of Sunday morning, after everyone had gone to bed, he said.<\/p>\n
‘Doors bolted’<\/strong><\/p>\n \u00a0<\/strong>Television footage showed bodies being carried out of the home, covered in sheets.<\/p>\n The family had gathered for dinner in Thane, about 32km (20 miles) from Mumbai, on Saturday evening.<\/p>\n
