The Nepali royal massacre occurred on 1 June 2001 at the
Narayanhiti Palace, the then-residence of the
Nepali monarchy. Nine members of the royal family, including
King Birendra and
Queen Aishwarya, were killed in a
mass shooting during a gathering of the royal family at the palace. A government-appointed inquiry team named
Crown Prince Dipendra as perpetrator of the massacre but the actual incident still remains a mystery with questions being raised on the fictitious modus operandi of Late King Dipendra. Dipendra slipped into a
coma after shooting himself in the head.
Dipendra was declared
King of Nepal while comatose after the death of King Birendra. He died in hospital three days after the massacre without regaining consciousness. Birendra's brother
Gyanendra then became king. (Full article...)
