Tragedy struck a vulnerable family in Susta Rural Municipality when 65-year-old Akshay Lal Chamar and his 9-year-old grandson were found murdered outside their temporary shelter near the Narayani River. The victims’ isolated living situation highlights potential security concerns in the area.
Deputy Superintendent of Police Resham Bohara described the disturbing crime scene, detailing assault marks on Chamar’s neck and deep wounds inflicted upon the child’s neck and stomach. This brutality underscores the urgent need to identify those responsible.
The absence of Chamar’s son, who works in India, and his daughter-in-law, who was visiting her parents, left the elderly man and young boy particularly defenseless. Police are investigating whether this vulnerability played a role in the attackers’ motivations.
The community remains on edge as authorities seek any leads that could shed light on this heinous crime. Further updates on the situation will be released as they become available.
