She got mad at them when they refused to say who ate the cookies. “I’m not gonna axe you again...”

Not sure in this case, but the vast majority of those with the surname Patel are Gujarati Hindu, not Muslim.

They are from India.

According to this article, the mother said a “ghost” killed the children.

Patel means "hotel keeper" in various Indo-European languages located in India.

Usually Hindu.

I knew a “Patel” who was an Indian Muslim, but I believe it is a very common Hindi name regardless of religion.

Let me guess, her attempt at suicide failed because she tried to bludgeon herself to death.?

That was my first thought that the pregnancy had been ended because it wasn’t a boy and her depression afterwards caused the killings.

Just a crazy. I seriously doubt the fact she is Indian and probably Hindu had anything to do with this.

Sad story.
