Three inebriated Nepali nationals sharing flat in Antop Hill argue over electricity bill; two suspects team up and smash the third roommate's head with a boulder at a public park
The murder came to light when Thapa woke up and went to fill water from a tank in the park and discovered Bahadur’s body with a bloody stone resting on his face. Thapa immediately informed the police, and during the preliminary investigation, the police learned that Manbahadur and Acharya had fought with the deceased and were absconding. The police tracked down both suspects, who confessed to their crime during interrogation.
“The three stayed with four other persons in the same flat. The accused and the deceased were under the influence of alcohol and the main reason for conflict was payment of bills. They had fought over the issue several times in the past,” said a police officer from Antop Hill police station. The accused were booked under sections 302 (murder) and 34 (common intention). They were produced in court yesterday and have been remanded in police custody.u00a0
