The girl had been accompanied by a boy when they booked the hotel room at around 9:30am in the name of Nabin Magar.
An hour later, the boy escaped the hotel after killing the girl using a sharp weapon. According to the family sources, the girl had left home at around 9am on the pretext of visiting a temple near her home.
After the girl didn´t return till late evening, the family members started searching her.
“She had not been using mobile phone since getting married. Her parents had seized her mobile following unwanted calls,” police quoted Tamang as she said.
Meanwhile, the girl´s husband has told the police that they living happily after the marriage. The police said, “The murderer took away the golden necklace worn by the murdered girl.”
Citing the negligence of the hotel while registering the identity of the boy and the girl, the police said they would issue new directives requiring the hotels to be very careful about identity of their guests at the time of their check in.
