17-year-old Acton boy accused in murders of mother, younger brother held without bail

Breaking news. The 17 year old from Acton accused of killing his mother and younger brother was arraigned in court just a short time ago. Police arrested Arjun Aravind yesterday morning. They found him in his mother's car in Wayland. Prosecutors say they found the bodies of Aravind's 45-year-old mother Sudha Venkasathan and 14-year-old brother Siddharth inside the family's home Tuesday night. Middlesex District Attorney Marion Ryan says Aravind used chat GPT to write fantasy stories about his family members being killed. The cause of each death is not yet known but the prosecutor says it showed signs of a violent struggle. Immediately inside the house they found the body of an apparently deceased child who was determined to be a 14-year-old male child. They then found close nearby a body of a female who was determined to be the mother of that child. The autopsies were started yesterday to determine the cause of death. A plea of not guilty was entered on the 17-year-old's behalf. The attorney is seeking a psych evaluation. He will be held without bail until a probable cause hearing next month.
