Man kills wife & commits suicide in Pokhara



A man murdered his estranged wife, who had filed for divorce from him, and committed suicide in Simalchaur, Pokhara of Kaski district on Wednesday, police said. Sanjeev Nepali (24) of Kichnas-3, Syangja, had married Sonam Regmi (22) of Pauwaigaude-2, Syangja, four years ago. But the couple witnessed sourness in their conjugal life. 

They had been living separately for some time and Regmi had filed for divorce, according to the Spokesperson at Kaski District Police Office, DSP Gajusiddhi Bajracharya. With an apparent plan for murder-suicide, Nepali barged into Regmi’s rented room this afternoon and dragged her to verandah of house.

He then used a khukuri to stab on the woman’s throat and belly repeatedly at around 5:30 pm. He subsequently consumed poison.
