Novi Police Chief David Molloy said, " The victims were discovered in the living room and its clear from their injuries that they all fought back trying to survive."
This heinous crime was discovered two weeks after the homicide took place.

People say there has been no record of domestic violence case against the Nerusu family.
Some people believe that Rao fled to India on October 14.
