KATHMANDU, NOV 01 - Police have found a charred body of a woman of 20-22 years of age in an abandoned hutch at Balkhu on Thursday night. The fire has completely damaged the hutch, situated on the Gankhel foothills.
Police suspect that the lady might have been killed after she was raped. The locals built the hutch for guarding their fields, refreshment and taking rest.
Geeta KC, a local resident, said that the police and fire brigade officials were reported of the incident when the fire broke out at around 8:30 pm. The locals put out the fire pouring water with buckets when the pipeline of the fire engine fell short off the place. The body was discovered buried underneath the ruins and ash, said KC.
Deputy Superintendent of Police Dinesh Amatya explained that the victim was stranded to death. Although the face of the victim remains partially recognisable, it could not be identified as yet.
The police, referring to a post-mortem report, said that the victim’s body was cremated after the murder. The post-mortem could not establish any evidence if she was raped or pregnant.
Superintendent of Police Binod Singh said the woman was murdered premeditatedly. Pointing towards the remaining evidence, he said, "The state of the body even suggests that the woman had a sex with an unknown person." Posted on: 2003-10-31 09:52
