Police Conclude Investigation into Double Murder of Brothers in Lalitpur

Kathmandu. Police have concluded the investigation into the murder of two brothers in the premises of Krishna Mandir in Lalitpur Metropolitan City-12. SSP Hobindra Bogati of the District Police Range, Lalitpur, told Ratopati that the investigation into the murder of Sumit Nemwang and Srijan Nemwang on Chaitra 25 has been completed and the report has been submitted.

Police had arrested Sanjeev Nepali on suspicion of murdering 33-year-old Sumit Nemwang and 25-year-old Srijan, who were originally from Kamal Rural Municipality-6, Jhapa, and resided in Imadol, Lalitpur. The deceased were real brothers.

While they were visiting the Patan Durbar Square area, Nepali, whom they had never met before, stabbed and killed them. The police investigation concludes that the murder occurred after a dispute escalated due to a wrong number being dialed.

SSP Bogati stated that the investigation report has been submitted to the District Government Attorney's Office. He said, "We have recommended demanding a life sentence against the accused."

Police also arrested 21-year-old Gagan Sunar from Nawalparasi, who had accompanied Sanjeev at the time of the incident. Sunar resides in Subahal, Lalitpur-8. Police have recommended demanding a sentence for Gagan in a complicity role.
