SAN MATEO, Calif. (KRON) \u2014 Two 4-year-old twin boys were murdered by their own father in what police are calling a \u201chorrific\u201d murder-suicide. Their mother, identified on Thursday as Alice Priyanka Benziger, was also slain by her husband before he shot himself, police said.<\/p>\n

The San Mateo Police Department identified the killer as 37-year-old Anand Henry. A San Mateo County Sheriff\u2019s coroner identified the 4-year-old brothers as Nathan Henry and Noah Henry.<\/p>\n

Police said the family of four was dead inside their house on Alameda de las Pulgas in San Mateo for nearly two days before anyone knew something was wrong.<\/p>\n

Neighbors said the father, mother, and their young sons seemed like a happy and normal family. The twins were friendly and loved to wave at neighbors. The San Mateo Police Department confirmed that it had no prior reports of domestic violence stemming from Benziger, 38, and her husband.<\/p>\n

SMPD wrote, \u201cThere is no history of violence at the home, and outside of the context of this incident, the San Mateo Police Department has only responded to the home since 2020 on reports of a mountain lion in the yard.\u201d<\/p>\n

Police said they are still attempting to establish a motive for why a married father of two would kill his entire family.<\/p>\n
