On march 21,1996, the bodies of champaben patel and her daughter anita were found in their family home in windsor. Champaben patel had been strangled and her body was burned. Anita had been stabbed and her body was burned. Investigators believe champaben patel was killed first, in the bedroom of her home. They further suspect that anita patel and her two children arrived at the house while the attack was occurring, and that anita told the children, then ages 3 and 5, to leave the house. The children ran from the house and were found by a woman walking to her mailbox, who called the police. Anita patel was stabbed in the kitchen of the house. Gasoline was poured around her body and set afire. Although she had been stabbed 14 times, an autopsy determined she died of smoke inhalation.Agency
