Saju Chelavalel strangled his wife and their two young children, aged six and four
A father who strangled his wife and their two young children and then held a knife to his own throat before being Tasered by police has been jailed for life.
Video footage released by Northamptonshire Police after the hearing shows the killer urging police to shoot him at his home in Kettering, where he also left instructions for his own and his family’s bodies to be cremated in India. The footage, filmed after officers broke the glass in a patio door to gain access to the ground-floor flat in Petherton Court, shows them issuing repeated warnings for Chelavalel to drop a knife before his arrest.
Chelavalel showed no emotion as the judge added: “Even if you had been right in your suspicions, let me make clear that nothing could possibly justify violence, let alone the brutal murders of your family. I should make plain that the police did indeed investigate your claim and found no evidence whatsoever that your wife was involved with another man.
