Kaski Police Arrest Two Suspects in Premeditated Murder of Sirjana Paudel KC in Pokhara
Kaski. Kaski police have arrested and publicly identified two primary suspects involved in the murder of Sirjana Paudel KC in Pokhara. Police investigations have revealed that the murder was premeditated, stemming from family disputes and conflicts over property inheritance.
The District Police Office, Kaski, held a press conference on Friday to disclose the detailed circumstances of the incident and the identities of the accused. Those arrested include her nephew, Shishir KC (known as Santosh), and his accomplice, Kushal Pariyar.
The fatal attack on Sirjana occurred on Chait 25 at approximately 7:06 PM. While she was walking home after closing her meat shop near Sabhagriha Chowk in Pokhara Metropolitan City-8, she was struck with a sharp khukuri weapon near Shivalaya Chowk on the Pokhara-Baglung road section.
Police investigations revealed that the suspects had been monitoring Sirjana since earlier in the day and had selected a secluded, dark location for the attack. They seized the opportunity to strike her from behind with the khukuri.
According to Kaski Superintendent of Police (SP) Nabin Karki, preliminary investigations indicate that the primary motive for the murder was family conflict and property disputes. The deceased, Sirjana, had entered into a second marriage with Krishna Chhetri nine years ago.
SP Karki stated that there had been a long-standing dispute between Krishna's children from his first marriage and Sirjana regarding property, which ultimately escalated into this murder.
Clarifying the incident during the press conference, SP Karki emphasized that the crime was not committed in the heat of the moment but was a premeditated act. He stated, 'We have successfully apprehended the suspects through meticulous manual and technical analysis and intelligence gathering. It is evident that this was a completely planned murder.'
The police have initiated further investigation and legal proceedings against the arrested suspects.
