By Keshab Raj Poudel, Kathmandu, Aug. 11: The police on Tuesday made public Kalpana Mudbari Poudel, 37, originally from Chitwan Kalika Municipality-7, as the prime culprit of the ghastly murder case in Gongabu.

The accused confessed that she had fed sleeping tablets to deceased Krishna Bahadur Bohara by mixing it in curd and after Bohara fainted, she killed him by hitting him in his scrotum with the help of a hammer, revealed the Police by organising a press conference today.

According to Senior Superintendent of Police (SSP) Deepak Thapa, the accused in her statement confessed that she had killed Bohara after he started blackmailing her by creating a fake Facebook ID and posting her private photos.

In her preliminary statement, she said that she had planned the murder after Bohara started publishing her private pictures on Facebook.
Kalpana had fled to Chitwan after allegedly committing the crime. The police arrested her from Shaktikhor, Chitwan.

SSP Thapa said that Bohara and the accused got to know each other around three-four months ago via Facebook.

The deceased was residing in a Gongabu-based hotel for the past eight months.  He used to visit Kalpana's flat frequently.

On the day of the crime, deceased Bohara had reached Kalpana's flat in Tokha Municipality-10 via scooter with registration number Ba 72 Pa 5644.

He had eaten meat, beaten rice, curd and vodka in Kalpana's place. Kalpana had allegedly fed him five sleeping tablets by mixing it with the curd. After Bohara fainted, she hit him on his scrotum with a hammer and strangled him to death with the help of a black shawl.

After Bohara died, she cut off his head and leg.  

She then went on to dispose of the head and leg by packing it in a bag near her residence. Later, she packed the remaining torso in a black coloured suitcase and threw it in another place nearby. According to the police, Kalpana's daughter had helped her in disposing of the torso.

On August 9, Sunday, she fled to Chitwan via an ambulance.

The police have confiscated sharp objects, hammer used to hit Bohara, gloves with blood stain, pieces of mattress, black coloured shawl, handle of the suitcase, the cover of sleeping tablets and some mobile phones.
