Indian Man Kills 14 Family Members
CNN, Harmeet Shah Singh & Tim Hume

Overview:
   Husnain Anwar Warekar allegedly murdered 14 of his family members. His Wife, Father, Mother, three of his Sisters, and six children are reported to have been killed.
   The family had traveled to Warekar's house for a family event and were to stay the night. Warekar slipped sedatives into their dinner meal. Later on, when the entire family was unconscious from the sedatives, he slit their throats. He then hung himself before anyone had realized that the entire family was dead.
   One of the women, who's throat Warekar had slit, survived the attack and was able to call the police.
   The incident happened just outside of Mumbai, India. Mourners gathered around the coffins of the murdered family to pay their respects for this tragic occurrence. The motivation for the killing spree is yet to be determined by investigators.

Opinion:
   This is an incident that can't be explained very well on how someone feels about it. No one can even begin to understand how 14 people were killed by someone who they share the same blood with. It's ridiculous.
   There is no good enough reason that a man would have to murder his own family and then himself. The family were gathering together for a family event. If they had done something to Warekar then I don't think his entire close family would be visiting him.
   The real reason this kind of tragedy gets me upset is because Warekar didn't even have enough courage to stand up for his actions. There was no explanation to the cause of the deaths or an explanation of where he would be able to get sedatives from. Warekar is a coward because he knew that he wouldn't be able to live with himself after the inhumane action he had committed.
