Arianna “Aria” Kamal, the 18-year-old who was found dead along with her father Rakesh Kamal and mother Teena Kamal, in an apparent case of murder-suicide, was “brilliant” and “deeply spiritual”, her professors said, according to a statement accessed by the New York Post.
In a statement, her teacher said she was “a brilliant student and an amazing singer” after news emerged that Kamal and her parents were found dead in their $5 million, 27-room mansion in Massachusetts’ Dover.
“She loved singing and was interested in going to Italy with the College opera group. She was connected and engaged in class, and passionate about everything she did,” Melissa Hammerle wrote in the statement issued via Middlebury College.
Kamal, a fresher, was studying neuroscience there. The statement said that Arianna read at Middlebury’s Lessons and Carols service and sang in the College Choir.
“She was a beautiful writer and always did things 110 percent. She was a deeply spiritual person and dove into the material in the first-year seminar course,” Hammerle further added. Hammerle taught Arianna Mindfulness in Education. Arianna is a graduate of the prestigious Milton Academy.
Arianna was home for Christmas break and was found dead alongside her parents, Teena and Rakesh Kamal, founders of now-defunct edtech company EduNova. Their bodies were found on Thursday and police recovered a gun near the body of Rakesh Kamal.
The district attorney described the incident as a domestic violence situation. “There’s been no police reports, there’s been no problems, no domestic issues, no nothing at that house or in the entire neighbourhood that I’m aware of. This is very unfortunate and our heart goes out to the entire Kamal family on this terrible tragedy,” Norfolk District Attorney Michael Morrissey said.
“Although the investigation is at a very preliminary stage, the evidence available at this time does not indicate the involvement of any outside party, but suggests that this is a deadly incident of domestic violence,” his office said in a statement.
Their lifeless bodies were discovered by a relative who stopped by to check on the family members after not hearing from them in one or two days. The district attorney also said there were no previous reports of domestic incidents tied to their home.
The New York Post in a report citing online records said the Kamals appeared to have faced financial problems in recent years. The mansion they were living in went into foreclosure and Teena also filed for bankruptcy earlier in 2022. The company, EduNova, where she was a partner along with her husband, was also dissolved.
