Youth Stabbed to Death in Kathmandu by Brother-in-Law

Kathmandu. On Saturday night, 25-year-old Zakir Mansuri was murdered in Thankot Kharibot, Chandragiri Municipality-3. Mansuri, originally from Gaushala Municipality-5, Mahottari, was living in Thankot, Kathmandu, and was engaged in the work of decorating sarees (pico). On the night of Jestha 2, he went to his former brother-in-law's rented room, where his brother-in-law stabbed him with a knife. He was declared dead by doctors at Med Point Hospital in Satungal after being injured by the knife attack at 9:15 PM.

The police have arrested the deceased's brother-in-law, Sami Ahmed, 38, from Mahottari, on suspicion of involvement in the murder. Ahmed had already divorced the deceased Mansuri's sister 3-4 years ago. Both the accused and the deceased were living in Chandragiri and were engaged in the work of decorating sarees. Their workplaces were different. When they met and consumed food and drinks, they used to have occasional disputes. According to a police officer involved in the investigation, Ahmed was constantly bothered by Zakir's question, 'Why did you leave my sister?'

Ahmed was fed up with that question. SP Pawan Bhattarai of the District Police Range, Kathmandu, stated that on Saturday night, when Zakir went to Ahmed's rented room and argued about the same issue, they got into a scuffle. He said, 'It appears the brother-in-law stabbed him during the scuffle.'

Zakir also lived in a rented room nearby. Zakir sustained 7-8 injuries, including to his hands, chest, and neck, when his brother-in-law stabbed him. His body has been kept at Tribhuvan University Teaching Hospital for post-mortem. The Thankot Police Station is investigating the incident.
