Massachusetts mansion where businessman Rakesh Kamal killed his wife and underage daughter in a murder-suicide goes on the market for $4.2 million

The Massachusetts mansion where a father and entrepreneur murdered his wife and teenage daughter before turning the gun on himself hit the market this week, touted as a “perfect home for entertaining guests.”

Rakesh Kamal, 57, shot and killed his 54-year-old wife Teena and 18-year-old Arianna during the horrific murder-suicide in the sprawling Dover home on December 28, 2023.

The bodies of the family of three were found by Rakesh's brother Manoj in the 11-bedroom, 12.5-bathroom property.

The ad describes the house as an “exceptional, custom-designed property on 5 acres, perfectly located at the end of a private cul-de-sac,” but makes no mention of the brutal murders.

“This home fits seamlessly into the idyllic, manicured grounds overlooking wooded hiking trails, horseback riding paths and a tranquil pond in the highly desirable Wilsons Way neighborhood,” according to Realtor.com.

The single-family home with 4 garages on a “meticulously maintained” 19,000 square meter lot was built in 2000 and is for sale for $4.2 million.

At the time of the murder and suicide, the value of the mansion was estimated at $5.45 million.

“The perfect home for entertaining guests, this property features a 14-seat home theater, a relaxing family room with a floor-to-ceiling stone fireplace, a 20×40 indoor pool, a fully equipped gym, a sauna with steam shower, extensive storage, and a 5,000-bottle wine cellar,” the listing continued.

“Completing this property are several sun-drenched stone verandas that offer tranquil views of the expansive grounds.”

Norfolk County District Attorney Michael Morrissey called the area one of the wealthiest in the state and “a nice neighborhood, a safe community.”

According to online records reviewed by The Post, the couple appears to have struggled with financial problems in recent years.

The family's sprawling estate was foreclosed on a year before the murders and sold to Massachusetts-based Wilsondale Associates LLC for $3 million, according to property records obtained by The Post.

The Kamals bought the property in 2019 for $4 million.

Rakesh Kamal is said to have used a .40 caliber Glock 22 that was not registered to him as the weapon was found in the house.

He had accumulated enormous debts from the $3.8 million mortgage, a six-figure loan from a family member, and a series of bad business deals in and outside of Boston.

The software developer borrowed $500,000 from his brother-in-law Sandeep Bedi and “a substantial sum of money” from his brother Manoj, according to two separate affidavits seen by the Boston Globe.

On the day of her death, the family was to be evicted from the 27-room house.

According to a 63-page police report obtained by the Boston Globe, police entered the home on December 28 in response to a 911 call and found a typed note addressed to the person who was supposed to pick up the keys.

“Please note,” it said. “Before entering, call the police to check three bedrooms on the second floor first. Each room is marked with a white sheet of paper.”

The police found all the bodies behind these marked doors.

Four days before her death, a fax signed by Teena Kamal was sent to Virginia-based life insurance company Genworth requesting a change to her $1.25 million life insurance policy, according to the Boston Globe.

Kamal wanted to make her husband and daughter the primary beneficiaries and add Rakesh's brother Manoj Kamal as the alternate beneficiary.

Since January, Manoj Kamal and Teena's brother Sandeep Bedi have been embroiled in a legal battle for exposing their siblings' shady financial past.

Manoj had made a claim to the life insurance company for payout of the policy.

Bedi, who manages his sister's estate, had raised “concerns” with the company about the circumstances of the deaths and the change in beneficiary status.
