KATHMANDU, September 11: After five days of gruesome murder of six members of a family in Sakhuwasabha district, police have arrested a local youth, Lok Bahadur Karki on Saturday.
Karki, 26, of Madi-1 has also confessed to his crime.
Lok Bahadur Karki is a nephew of deceased Tej Bahadur Karki.
“It has been learnt that Lok Bahadur Karki solely murdered six of his relatives,” said a high level police official.
According to the police involved in the investigation, accused Karki has confessed that he killed Tej Bahadur Karki and his family because he (Tej Bahadur Karki) used to humiliate him and he was not able to tolerate it.
