Indian-Origin Teen Charged with Killing Mother, Brother in Massachusetts

A teenager in Massachusetts is accused of doing something very serious and sad.

His name is Arjun Aravind and he is 17 years old.

Police say he hurt his mother and his little brother.

His mother, Sudha Venkatesan, was 45 years old.

His brother, Siddarth Aravind, was only 14 years old.

Arjun goes to Acton-Boxborough Regional High School, just like many kids his age.

Police arrested him early Wednesday after searching through the night.

The family lived on Martha Lane in Acton, a town about 48 kilometers west of Boston.

Now Arjun is charged with murder and must face the legal system.

It is a very sad event for the family and the town.
