Indian technicians allegedly killed their wife, and their son killed himself before we died on us
In a tragic incident reported in Newcastle, Washington, the Indian-Olin tech entrepreneur allegedly shot his wife and 14-year-old son and then killed himself on April 24, according to U.S. authorities. The King County Sheriff’s Office has investigated the case.
The deceased was identified as the founder and CEO of Holoworld, the now lost robotics company Holoworld, his wife and company co-founder Shwetha Panyam (44) and their teenage son, his wife and company co-founder Shwetha Panyam (44). Another son who was not at home at the time of the incident survived.
Kikkeri originally came from KR PET TALUK in Mandya District, Karnataka, and Panyam co-founded Holoworld in 2017 in Vijayanagar, Mysuru, after returning from the United States. The company focuses on robotics and immersive technology, which closed in 2022 due to the impact of the 1922 pandemic. Kikkeri has since returned to the United States with her family.
Police said that while the apparent motive for murder suicide is not yet clear, an investigation is still underway. Several media quoted neighbors to describe the family as retained but friendly.
