The massacre occurred on Friday, June 1, 2001. There was actually a lot about it in the news. (The best reporting was probably BBC, but there were numerous articles in the world press, and a lot available online.) Nobody in Nepal believes the official version of the story that was in the news, that Prince Dipendra got drunk and killed his parents, brother and sister and other family members. If you read the details of the story in its many versions, and read about the haphazard and totally botched investigation, it is very hard to believe. And for the author of this article to say that "it is by no means particularly remarkable in a country with problems as big as its postcard mountains" ...wow. That's totally ridiculous. It was not only remarkable but totally devastating to Nepal.
