A Los Angeles man took his life today after taking the lives of his 39-year-old wife, 70-year-old mother-in-law and three children – - ages 19, 12 and 7.  The bodies were found in the home’s various bedrooms after police responded to a call from concerned friends (CLICK HERE TO READ ENTIRE STORY). The victims were believed to be shot sometime after 6 pm Saturday. 

Police say Karthik Rajaram of Porter Ranch, CA was a former financial advisor who was employed by Price Waterhouse and Sony Pictures. He had become unhappy about his financial situation.

He left behind three letters indicating that he had committed this heinous act.

It is a sad day in America when someone takes the lives of their own family due to “financial stress.”  

Are we going to see more of these crimes due to the financial burdens people are feeling? 

 

Or is this just an unusual case? You tell me.

 My heart goes out to the friends and family of the Rajaram family.

I have the family in my prayers, and maybe he should have sold his home and sold a couple of them car and sit down with his family and explain it will be some changes and we are going to start saving money and then they could have worked out some problems, but people try to live life that are not meet to last forever and more people are going to start to do the same thing so let get the devil out of the white house and get someone in there that will make this county a better place for the working people.

Shameka Said on

Wow, I think he should’ve filed Bankruptcy and started all over again… I just don’t understand why people think suicide solves it all. What happens is other family and friends are left back here to pick up the pieces…

Wow! What a tragedy. I think more than anything its time for the true blood washed believers to allow the message of hope that is within us be heard. The harvest is plentious but the laborers are few. You can almost see this was coming, we are living in a world where many are so caught up in things and stuff, its hard to comprehend times like this. However we are not left hopeless who knows truth. I’ve never seen the righteous forsaken or his seed begging bread. And for those whodo not have the same faith in Jesus Christ, he “rains on the just and the unjust.” Its not cliche, it has to be away of life for us so we can shine in the midst of so much darkness. MARANATHA-Lord come quickly!

I don’t believe he killed his family & then killed himself. Their are some missign details & ti seems to convient that he had to 2 suicide notes. One for his family( for which he allegedly killed) & another. He is a financial manager, the detectives should investigate his dealing with the bank institution & clients, They should see if he advised some clients to make some investements that didn’t come through or plunged. This shouldn’t be a case closed.

I allways try to stay humble when it comes to living . it makes no sense to try to keep up with the jones. you never know when something may come up and you lose alot.



Delance Said on

I wish the man would have thought about thoroughly and changed his mind. My deepest apologies to the family and friends.



Nadia Said on

I hate to say this but I predicted these sad events would occur. I know at a time like this there are going to be some unstable people who can’t handle the pressure. Its just sad that he had to take his life and the whole family with him. I pray for the future of our kids because we think its hard now but it will get worse before it gets better. But I trust God and I have faith so im not all that worried… May GOd bless us all



descants Said on

This is sad. Rajaram employer knew he was having issues, instead of firing him why did they not get him help? Sometimes management can be so dense.



Melissa Robbins Said on

May GOD have mercy on your soul Rajaram. The act of suicide alone is selfish, but to decide the fate of others is evil. The mother in law was 70 how dare he take her life, and his wife had a right to see the lives of the children that she carried…how dare he take the lives of people in the spring of their lives. The devil is ALIVE and is working around the clock! Have mercy on us father!



LadyofWisdom Said on

WOW,

This is indeed very sad, No one knows what this man went through mentally from this economy mess, but I personnally would NEVER take my babies or my life. It’s called surviving and struggling, and YES BUSH, MCCAIN, PALIN, AND ALL THE DIRTY REPUBLICANS HAVE SO BLAME IN THIS:

Regardless if he pulled the trigga or not, that’s why we a people better vote smart: OBAMA 08: Because as sad as this is, there will be many more stories like this or worst if Mccain wins:



jamaicangurle Said on

DEEDY, y do u apologize for being Godly. BTW, the God of Abraham, Jacob & Isaac, shud b written wit a Capital ” G” or otherwise a upper case G. Small g is da gods of this world. I applaud u 4standin up for JESUS, & never apologize!!!



Niecie Said on

I totally agree with Matthew. This is truly a sad situation.



FG Said on

This is really sad , HE prolly already filed bankruptcy and had nothing else left except to move his family out onto the streets . Things would have to get extremely bad for a father to be pushed to these extremes . I think the bankers and ceo’s of this country all need to be charged for their greed and imprisioned for sticking the country into this device of evil powered by $$$ .
