The Massachusetts mansion, where an entrepreneur father murdered his wife and teenage daughter before turning the gun on himself, hit the market this week and was billed as the “perfect home for entertaining.” Rakesh Kamal, 57, fatally shot his 54-year-old wife, Teena, and 18-year-old Arianna during the horrific murder-suicide inside the sprawling Dover home on Dec. 28, 2023.
The family of three’s bodies were found inside the 11-bedroom, 12.5-bathroom estate by Rakesh’s brother Manoj.

The listing describes the home as an “exceptional, custom-designed estate on 5 acres perfectly situated at the end of a private cul-de-sac,” while making no mention of the brutal killings.
“This home is seamlessly integrated into the idyllic, manicured grounds overlooking wooded hiking paths, bridle trails, and a tranquil pond in the extremely desirable Wilsons Way neighborhood,” according to Realtor.com.
The single-family, 4-car garage dwelling on a “meticulously maintained” 19,000 square feet was built in 2000 and is going for $4.2 million
At the time of the murder-suicide, the mansion was estimated to be worth $5.45 million.
“A perfect home for entertaining, this property offers a 14-seat home theater, relaxing family room with a floor-to-ceiling stone fireplace, 20×40 indoor pool, fully-equipped gym, sauna with a steam shower, extensive storage, and 5, 000 bottle wine cellar,” the listing added.

The couple appeared to have faced financial problems in recent years, according to online records viewed by The Post.
The family’s sprawling mansion went into foreclosure a year before the slayings and was sold to Massachusetts-based Wilsondale Associates LLC for $3 million, according to property records obtained by The Post.
The Kamals had purchased the estate for $4 million in 2019.
Rakesh Kamal is believed to have used a .40-caliber Glock 22 that wasn’t registered to him as the weapon was found inside the home.
He had amassed massive debt from the $3.8 million mortgage and a six-figure loan from a family member and a series of poor business deals in and out of the Boston area.
The software developer had borrowed $500,000 from his brother-in-law Sandeep Bedi and “a substantial sum of money” from his brother Manoj, two separate affidavits viewed by the Boston Globe claim.
