Dad confesses to killing two daughters by throwing from bridge

In a shocking revelation, Krishna Prasad Tiwari is said to have admitted to killing two of his three daughters, Namuna(8 years old) and Nabina(6 years old), realising that he can´t take care of them in his limited resources. The mother of the children is working in Israel for the past four years and supporting the family back home.

He had earlier reported that the girls were abducted by a group of five masked men who were demanding Rs 100,000 as ransom. 

An investigation team mobilized by the Central Investigation Bureau (CIB) of Nepal Police from Kathmandu has made this appalling disclosure. Krishna Prasad Tiwari, a resident of Pipaltari VDC-9 in the Parbat district, himself killed his daughters Namuna, 8, and Nabina, 6, by throwing them alive into the swollen Modi River, about five meters down from his house, in the night of August 1.

Earlier, Tiwari had told police, neighbors and journalists that a group of five masked men abducted his two daughters after he failed to give them Rs 100,000 right then as per their demand. The fact that no one called Tiwari for ransom and the absence of extortion groups in hill districts, unlike in the Tarai belt, led police to doubt Tiwari´s statement.

As police interrogated Tiwari, he admitted to have killed two of his daughters after failing to look after them. “I had three daughters. I found it very difficult to look after all of them. My wife is forced to work abroad for years just to feed our children,” Tiwari told police, adding, “I assumed that I could reduce the financial burden if I killed two of my daughters.”

Tiwari told police that he first threw Namuna down into the river from the bridge.

Tiwari had sent his eldest daughter Namrata to his brother´s house the night when he mercilessly executed his dreadful plan. Namrata, who was relentlessly waiting to see her siblings again, is in disbelief after police arrested Tiwari for killing the two children. Tiwari´s wife, Bhola Kumari, who has been working in Israel for four years now, is also shocked.

According to Purna Singh Khadka, Dhaulagiri police chief, Bhola Kumari, who came in contact with them over phone several times, wept at the terrible disclosure of her husband´s brutal crime. “We will now try him (Tiwari) for murder,” Khadka said. Police presented Khadka before journalists Friday.

Namuna and Nabina were grade-two and grade-one students respectively at Rashtriya Baal Siksha Sandan School in Pipaltari.
