Outrage as $4M Massachusetts murder mansion where wealthy businessman slaughtered his wife and teen daughter is listed as 'perfect family home'

A Massachusetts mansion where a wealthy businessman killed his wife and daughter before turning the gun on himself is being touted as the 'perfect family home' after hitting the market for $4.2million.

Rick and Teena Kamal bought the home in Dover on Valentine's Day 2019 for $4million. The couple, including their daughter Arianna, 18, would meet a tragic end inside the sprawling estate.

Rick, 57, fatally shot his wife, 54, and their daughter in their bedrooms before killing himself just days after Christmas. The family was due to move out after losing the home to foreclosure for failing to pay the mortgage. 

The stunning 22-room mansion is described as a 'perfect family home' with a 'relaxing family room' and 'peaceful views,' according to real estate listings. 

The listings make no mention of the home's grisly past.

Rakesh 'Rick' Kamal, 57, fatally shot his wife Teena, 54, and their daughter Arianna, 18, as they slept in their beds at the family's Dover mansion in December. He then turned the gun on himself

'Exceptional, custom-designed estate on five acres perfectly situated at the end of a private cul-de-sac. This home is seamlessly integrated into the idyllic, manicured grounds overlooking wooded hiking paths, bridle trails, and a tranquil pond in the extremely desirable Wilson's Way neighborhood,' the listings read. 

'A perfect family home, this property offers a 14-seat home theater, relaxing family room with a floor-to-ceiling stone fireplace, 20'x40' indoor pool, fully-equipped gym, sauna with a steam shower, extensive storage, and 5,000 bottle wine cellar.' 

The home was built in 2000 and assessed at a value of nearly $6.8million, according to property records. 

The Kamals took out a $3.8million loan on the home, which was set to be paid in 2021. The loan became a major issue for Rick Kamal, leading authorities to believe it factored into the murder-suicide, according to the Boston Globe. 

Extended family was unaware of the financial issues and some even believed the family of three was planning on buying a $16.5million lakefront home in Tennessee, the Globe reported.

When officers arrived at the home after a 911 call, they found a typed message on a piece of paper that seemed to be intended for a person scheduled to retrieve the keys of the home.

The note read: 'Please Note, Before entering call the Police to first check three bedrooms on the second floor. Each room will be marked by a white sheet of paper.'

The bodies of all three were found inside the rooms.

The murders rocked the community, where Rick Kamal was considered to be a wealthy entrepreneur and doting father running a successful startup.

Following the deaths, it was revealed Rick had filed for bankruptcy and was served with a foreclosure notice just three months earlier.

Rick Kamal's younger brother, Manoj Kamal, told police he had loaned his sibling about $150,000, in roughly $5,000 increments, in the nine months before the killings.

Manoj also claims his brother drained their mother's bank account.

Police documents also revealed that while Teena Kamal was not fully aware of the extent of her husband's financial issues, she also felt significant pressure.

Manoj Kamal said she had recently made a troubling statement about wanting 'to drive their family car off a cliff due to the recent stress they were under.'

Rick Kamal's family confirmed that the veneer of perfection ran so deep even his wife and daughter had no idea they were drowning in debt.

The parents and their daughter were found dead by Manoj Kamal on December 28 - three weeks after a foreclosure notice was served on the 20,000-square-foot home. 

It has since emerged that the mansion was bought with $3.8 million borrowed from the property's builder rather than a bank, with the money needing to be repaid within two years.

By 2021, interest and fines had spiraled out of control and foreclosure notices were served.

Even as the foreclosure was being processed, Teena Kamal was under the impression that the family was still moving forward with the purchase of a $16.5million chateau along Tennessee's Chickamauga Lake.

Listing agent James Perry said that Rick Kamal had provided bank statements proving his 'ability to purchase' the property. The family toured it, with Teena Kamal even starting to buy furniture. But a contract was never signed.
