A daughter has murdered her mother in connivance with her boyfriend in Bhaktapur Sunday afternoon, police claim.
The Metropolitan Police Crime Division has arrested four including the daughter in connection to the murder. One Mohammad Naseed of Siraha was arrested from Gajuri, Dhading Sunday evening.
Sabitri Bhattarai, 60, was murdered in Changunarayan-7, Bansbari of Bhaktapur by slitting her throat. The victim from Sindhupalchowk was staying with her youngest daughter Sabitri Bhattarai and the latter's husband in Bhaktapur after her husband left her.
"Preliminary investigation has showed that she was killed after she knew about extra-marital affair of her daughter," a crime division source told Setopati.
Naseed, the alleged boyfriend, had called two from India to murder Bhattarai. The two Indians Mohammad Rashid and Arun Kumar, who reached Hetauda after the murder, have also been arrested.
The daughter and Naseed both worked in a garment factory in Bhaktapur. The mother did not approve of the affair, according to the police.
