"He admitted that he murdered the three," said Special Additional Commissioner of Kolkata Police (Crime) Debasish Boral.

Asked about the motive, Boral said: "It will slowly become clear."

However, another police officer said Neil Fonseca had accumulated a huge debt and was also involved in an extra-marital relationship.

According to the officer, Fonseca first killed his wife and then the twins in the early hours of January 16.

Earlier, Fonseca had claimed that his wife killed her two sons before killing herself.
