Naperville Arson Deaths Ruled Murder-Suicide
The fire that claimed the lives of a Naperville mother and her two young children has been ruled a double murder-suicide. Police revealed that video surveillance at a nearby store showed Nimisha Tiwari purchasing a can of gasoline.
She was also seen purchasing toys at another store the same day. It is believed that the children may have been playing with the toys at the time that the fire began, as the Dora the Explorer and Thomas the Tank Engine toys were found near the bodies of 18-month-old Anaya, 4-year-old Vakadham. Although it is not believed that the mother poured gasoline onto the children, the police have not ruled out the possibility that the children were drugged prior to the fire.
According to the Chicago Sun-Times, Nimisha Tiwari and her husband, Anand Tiwari, had a troubled marriage, which included accusations of abuse and bad parenting from both parents. She previously alleged that he was controlling and abusive and he alleged that she acted erratically as a result of her multiple sclerosis. Police have said that the husband has been cleared as a suspect.
