Fearing Family Would Discover His Lie, He Tried to Kill Them

British man Satya Thakor failed the exams he needed to pass to become a doctor—nearly a decade ago.

But Newser reports Thakor apparently spent the next seven years pretending to his family that he actually was one.

Then, he tried to kill them to keep them from discovering the lie.

The 35-year-old was sentenced to 14 years in connection with the May 14, 2019, attack on four family members.

Thakor tried to suffocate his mother-in-law in her bedroom with a rag and pillow, then began stabbing her.
