Kolkata, Jan 16 (IBNS): The investigators of the Kolkata Police on Saturday recovered the weapons, which were used to murder a 42-year-old woman Jessica Fonseca and her twin sons- Darren and Joshua, from their flat in south Kolkata's upscale Pam Avenue area, reports said.

Blooded bodies of Jessica Fonseca, Darren  and Joshua  were found from a flat at Pam Avenue area under Karaya Police Station in Kolkata, very near to the flat of former West Bengal chief Minister Buddhadeb Bhattacharya.

Husband of Jessica, Neil Fonseca was rescued with severe injuries from the flat and he is being treated in hospital.

After starting investigation into the matter, the homicide department of Kolkata Police are suspecting that Neil Fonseca killed his wife and sons after a family dispute.

Joint Commissioner of Kolkata Police (Crime) Debashis Boral told IBNS, "We interrogated injured Neil Fonseca for nearly seven minutes while he was being taken to operation theatre. We are not satisfied with his answers. We are waiting for the post mortem of the killed persons to know how the murders were committed. We have seized the murder weapons and sent those for forensic test. Neil will be interrogated again later."

Meanwhile, Neil Fonseca's mother, daughter and sister-in-law, who were sleeping beside the room where the murders were committed, stated that they knew nothing about the incident.
