Kathmandu. A court in Virginia has convicted Naresh Bhatta, the husband of Mamta Kafle of Nepali origin, in the murder case. <\/p>\n
A jury of judges on Tuesday found Naresh guilty of first-degree murder. He was also convicted of hiding the body of the deceased and desecrating the body. <\/p>\n
During the search for Mamta Kafle, who has been missing since July 27, 2024, the police started investigating her husband Naresh. During the investigation, blood stains, hair fragments and other evidence were found in the house. <\/p>\n
While giving a statement in the court, Naresh admitted that Mamta died and that her body was cut into pieces with a saw and thrown in various garbage bags. But he claimed that he did not kill Mamta and that her death was due to poison himself. The prosecution, however, had claimed that Naresh had killed Mamata on the basis of various evidences, surveillance footage, telephone details and scientific examinations. The saddest part of this incident is that Mamata’s body has not been found yet. <\/p>\n
Naresh can be sentenced to twenty years to life imprisonment for murder. There is also a provision for additional punishment in the other two charges. His sentence is scheduled to be fixed on March 12. After his conviction, the court has also canceled his bail. <\/p>\n
This incident has shocked the Nepali community in Nepal and abroad. This decision of the court has become important for Mamata’s family, who have been waiting for justice for a long time. <\/p><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
