Kathmandu, April 18
At 8 pm on Saturday, officials at the Kathmandu Metropolitan Police Range in Teku were enjoying the peace and quiet after a hectic day. But, a speeding taxi entering the premises disturbed them.
The duty officer stopped the man getting off the taxi from entering the office and asked the purpose of the visit.
“After killing my elder brother’s wife,” answered the man in a single sentence. The officer conveyed the information to higher officials.
“We had already been informed that a woman has been murdered at Bulbule Marga, Baneshwar at around 7:20,” SSP Ashok Singh, the chief of the office, informs Onlinekhabar, “Since the man rushing here also said he was from Baneshwar, we easily conclude it was the same case.”
The police were right. The 48-year-old Mohan Rajbhandari said he killed his sister-in-law Roshni of the same year a few minutes ago.
While Rajbhandari surrendered to the police in Teku, the law enforcers in Baneshwar were searching for him.
“Nonetheless, during our preliminary investigation, we found that they had had a conflict for a long time and Mohan, under the influence of alcohol, attacked his sister-in-law with a rod,” Daksha Bahadur Basnet, the chief of the Metropolitan Police Circle in Baneshwar says.
Roshni was returning home from a vegetable shop then.
Seriously injured in the accident, she was taken to the National Trauma Centre, and the doctors there declared her dead after a few minutes.
Police are further looking into the case.
