Murder Most Royal
Saturday 1 October @ 23:10CET

Crown Prince Dipendra of Nepal ? ?Dippy? to his Eton chums ? had a difficult childhood by all accounts. His mother ruled him with a will of iron. Close friend Gautam Rana recalls: ?The crown Prince had very low self-esteem. His mother was always criticising him. She said she had to be strict with him, for one day he would be King. But she was a perfectionist ? she never let him be a child.? His father the King, an old Etonian himself, sent Dippy to the English public school Eton. Sixteen is a difficult age for any boy to be thrown into an alien environment, but Dippy used his karate skills to protect young Will Stonor from the school bullies, and the two were soon firm friends. It was at a drinks party at Stonor?s family home that Dippy was first introduced to Devyani Rana, the daughter of a Nepalese politician and an Indian Maharani, who immediately bewitched the sixth-former. He bombarded her with telephone calls ? to no avail. He knew even then that Devyani?s resistance was the least of his worries.

Devyani did not accept Dippy?s advances at first; but the pair became friends and, slowly, Devyani fell in love. The couple spent all their time together and surrounded themselves by people who told them what they wanted to hear ? that they would be allowed to marry, and that they would one day be King and Queen of Nepal.

In reality, Dippy?s mother had made it clear to her teenage son that he was already betrothed to a well-born Nepalese girl, Supriya Shah.

The conflict between the Queen and her disobedient son was confined to Palace whispers, until June 1st, 2001, when the Nepali Times made Dippy?s private shame public. The Queen, it said, was blocking the Crown Prince?s choice of bride. Dippy?s humiliation and anger festered until, that evening, dressed in military uniform and with weapons from the royal armoury, he burst into a family gathering and shot his father in the head. The attack was no outburst of drunken rage, but a premeditated attack ? the few royals who survived the massacre have since described the way in which Dippy fired at everyone, and then kicked the bodies to make sure they were dead, before shooting himself.

Now, of course, everyone admits that Dippy had always had a dark side. That he drank too much, drove too fast, and had an unhealthy obsession with guns. But no one could have predicted the events of that fateful night, or the turmoil into which the country would be thrown. The public didn?t know what to believe ? or rather, the last thing that they wanted to believe was the truth. A military coup, a Maoist attack ? any other explanation was preferable. How could they have lived with such a terrible killer in the midst and never have known? This documentary recounts the events, from massacre to royal funeral procession, and tells the story of a volatile personality who was pushed too far.

Its like asking,"Who Shot JFK ? " guess we will never know..he he
The Never Ending Question with Never Ending Answers but no facts to support them(all ficticious rumours and assumptions).

Well thats the reason which makes it so interesting. :) We all know many records are still sealed and will remain so until everyone involved is dead.

My last words are Deependra was not an Angel either. He was totally capable.

>>>Okies Newly ji...yeah capable..I agree too but tyo bhandai ma tehan conspiracy thyena bhanna milchha ra...

Well FYKI this is not a matter of who is good and evil....and neither care, but ask anyone who are in military or to someone who think with some logic and try to read their body language you yourself will find the answer. Seriously like i said let all die, proof will be in your hand.

Khoi ekaijaanle kasari barara ra parara garera tetti dherai gooli hanchha kunni..aani aagadi paachadi garera handa taakera taakeralagne ho munchhe lai ni..Rambo le training diya ho ki k ho....Matrixle bhunya sahi ho lu...sahi ho...mero sahamati....

In any case, I guess we will agree that Nepal's royal family don't know a fuk about bringing up a child...

hey People what happened to the resault of the blood sample that was sent to scotland???

How about demolisation of the building rite after 3-4 months the massacre accured???

Anybody has any info on these??

And the Royal Family is a bunch of wild animals regardless of who killed...

Its a waste of time to be discussing this topic without facts.
What people are saying here is all rumors and assumptions.
And as far as the facts go..he he As I said earlier, we will never know period.

Totally agree with BathroomBro..

Wasta kasta nagarum ho saathibhai ...baaru gyandailai yeso paisa rakhera dhogna jaam..katai muntri santri khwai po halchhan ki..Kasta Kasta ko ta chanas aayo..Hami ni k kam lu jaa!!!...:P...;)

I totall disagree with mahishasur and newlynew and i guess u guys r ranas. There're many many questions unanswered and if the present regime is not responsible for that massacre. why r they so scared to hear the word of 'royal massacre'. Why did they want to close the case as soon as poosible? why was there no proper investigation set up? Why did Paras go to Jordan, England for Royal burian ceremony and why noone was invited in our regime's cremation? The investigations from the Commission set up at that time was not plausible in any sense. Look at the members, the sycophants like Ranabhat who were in that commission? Has anyone tracked what happened to the people who knew about that? I totally blame on paties also for not responding. Do you know that there is 'National committe for celebration of birthday' for gyanendra, his wife, paras, himani, even Hridayendra, Mahendra; but there's not even a single committee to celebrate for King Birendra's memorial day? Why are people so scared? Why the present royal members don't promote it? Dudes, I wish you all will be able to find out the truth in your life, and if not your kids will certainly learn about it; and will be thinking what the hell people were doing at that time. Like I used to think when I read about 'Kot parbas' in Rana period. You know what, even though things are not very clear, as the time passes, it won't be much hard to link between the clues.

naam gwajyo bhye ni kura sahi garyo gaantheeee....nice said gwajyo!!! Cheers...:)

Did anyone see the documentary?

Well, I have never met any nepali who deny that Gyane did not killed his brother's family and relatives. I was in Nepal when everything happened and I was with the crowd too and watched every news and read every papers.

It is just insane not to believe but hey, it is your life if you do nto want to believe it is your right!!!

Hope to find out real truth in future!!!

And I have not anyone who were close to Deependra deny that he could have done it.

and I'll agree with BathroomCoffee that it'll remain a mystery, not coz its a mystery, but coz the truth is not accepted.

Bitter truth...

Gentleman you must be kidding yourself....:P

No, 99% of Nepali population including yourself included are kidding themselves...
