>

A Massachusetts couple and their son are found dead in a suspected murder-suicide after police receive a mysterious call from inside the home with a voice in the background saying, “Kill me now.”

Investigators speculate that Andrew Robinson, 56, shot his wife Linda Robinson, 55, and their son Sebastian, 12, before turning the gun on himself while inside their $2 million mansion around 3 a.m. Thursday.

Police arrived at the home at 48 Porter Road and were ordered to proceed with caution after a man was heard screaming and objects were broken in the background of the 911 call, a dispatcher told officers.

It’s unclear who made the call, but the dispatcher claimed there was no response from the caller.

Linda was an accountant and model before her death. Her uncle David Arsenault said the boston globe‘She was as angelic as she seems.’

Linda’s father, Joseph Hachey, visited the house with his half-brothers David and Roger Arsenault. The three of them sat around the dining room table looking at the family photos.

Hachey did not mention anything about Andrew to the media outlet, but remembered Sebastian as “an angel.”

She recalled that she didn’t see Linda as much when the pandemic hit and referred to their lives as “private.”

“They went out and bought a big freezer and filled it with food, hooked up the house with electric generators,” Hachey said.

‘I would ask my son [Steve], “Have you seen your sister?” “And he was like, ‘Who?’ Linda went into hibernation.

It’s unclear when Linda last saw her family, but Hachey recalled that Steve saw Sebastian last March. He had his picture taken with a mask.

Nearby neighbors were awakened by the sound of the Robinsons’ home alarm as officers forced their way inside.

“They had to break down two doors to get into the house,” Andover Police Chief Patrick Keefe said. They entered the house. The father, mother and 12-year-old son were found dead.

“The wounds were from bullets. We know the how, now we’re trying to figure out the why.

Janean and Andy Sullivan, ages 42 and 44, have a direct view of the Robinsons’ home and watched police go through the house with flashlights.

“We didn’t know if it was a robbery, but I knew something bad had happened,” Janean told the outlet.

The family was described as “private” with Chief Keefe adding that there were no previous reports from the home.

Redfin records show the four-bedroom home last sold in 2003 for $1,338,000. Zillow revealed that the property’s value has since increased by more than $2 million.

An aerial shot of the house showed a playground and slide in the backyard and a basketball hoop in front of the garage.

Sebastian was identified as a sixth grader at St. John High School. Authorities announced his death on Thursday while canceling classes for all students.

“Our community is heartbroken by the tragic loss of Sebastian,” Edward Hardiman, principal of St. John, said at a news conference held at the school. ‘Sebastian was a wonderful young man. He had a kind and gentle presence and was well liked by his teachers. Extraordinarily creative.

Hardiman added: “He was a really wonderful kid with a great nature.”

Meanwhile, Andrew worked at Channel Building Co. until he quit six months ago, the news outlet reported.

Linda’s former neighbor mourned her death and revealed the times they spent together when they were younger.

“I am speechless, I lived next door to Linda when she was a child, sometimes I hid in her garden to play, and it saddens me to know that her and her children’s lives were taken so soon,” the neighbor wrote.
