Kathmandu – November 10: In a swift cross-border homicide investigation, Nepal Police have arrested a 35-year-old Nepali woman and her 27-year-old Indian accomplice in connection with the brutal murder of her husband in the Morang district of eastern Nepal.
According to an official statement issued by Nepal Police headquarters, the victim, identified as 40-year-old Budha Ram Soren, was killed on Sunday in Jahada Rural Municipality. Police investigations revealed that the victim’s wife, Kamala Baske (35), conspired with her alleged romantic partner, Sunil Mishra (27), a resident of Bihar, India, to eliminate Soren.
Investigators stated that the accused ambushed the victim and struck him repeatedly on the head with an iron rod, causing critical skull fractures. Soren succumbed to fatal blunt-force trauma on the spot. Following the killing, the duo attempted to flee the district to cross the international border into India.
Acting on intelligence inputs, a specialized police squad intercepted and apprehended both Baske and Mishra from an open agricultural field in Jahada Rural Municipality on Monday morning before they could make their escape. The murder weapon has been recovered by forensic teams.
Morang District Police have registered a case of premeditated murder, remanded the suspects into judicial custody, and initiated detailed interrogation to ascertain the full chronology of the conspiracy.
