Dad who murdered wife and young children, 4 and 6, tells court 'I don’t know what happened'

A dad has pleaded guilty to murdering his family at their home last year. Saju Chelavalel admitted to three counts of murder relating to his wife and two children after they were found with serious injuries.

The 52-year-old, who was remanded in custody, spoke through a Malayalam interpreter and admitted to being responsible for the deaths of health worker Anju Asok, 35, Jeeva Saju, six, and Janvi Saju, four, while in court on Wednesday, April 5.

All three of the victims were discovered at a property in Petherton Court, Kettering, on December 15 last year. Ms Asok died at the scene, while the two children died later in hospital.
