Farhan Towhid, a chronically depressed 19-year-old Texan who formed a murder-suicide pact with his older brother and killed their parents, sister and grandmother over the weekend, was raised in a religious Muslim family but acted against his faith, according to Hasmat Mobin, president of the Bangladesh Association of North Texas.
“He was a . religious person. He used to go to mosque. He used to go up to different places. His father used to take him. In the ninth grade, his problems [with depression] started,” Mobin, who believes the strain of the COVID-19 pandemic on Farhan’s mental health could also have played a role, explained to The Christian Post on Tuesday.

Six members of the same family have died in a murder-suicide after two teenage brothers made a pact to commit suicide and take their family with them.
Allen Police Department said they were called to a home on Pine Bluff Drive in Allen, Texas, at 1 AM Monday morning March 5, to perform a welfare check.
They said a family friend had called 911 because they were concerned at least one person in the home was suicidal, WFAA reported.
When officers arrived, they found six people dead; two brothers, an older sister, their mother and father, and a grandmother.
Police did not specify the ages of the deceased, except that they ranged from 19 years and above.
