Mom Kills Self, 2 Kids in Fire (http://www.sfgate.com/cgi-bin/article.cgi?f=/n/a/2007/08/13/national/a171731D54.DTL&feed=rss.news)
A mother bought a can of gasoline, shut herself in her bedroom with her two young children and set a blaze that killed all three, police said Monday.
Investigators believe 32-year-old Nimisha Tiwari — who police said was in a "troubled marriage" — set herself on fire, and rescuers found all three ablaze on a bed in the master bedroom, Dial said. Also killed were Tiwari's 4-year-old son, Vakadham, and 18-month-old daughter, Anaya.
Police have video of the woman with the children in the family van buying a can of gasoline a few hours before the Saturday afternoon fire. She then took them to a store and bought toys, including a doll and a train. The gas can and toys were found in the burning bedroom, Dial said.
