Nepal holds ritual to banish slain monarch ghost
In Katmandu a rare Hindu ceremony was held to lay to rest the ghost of Birendra after the royal massacre. A Brahmin priest dressed as the late king took possessions of his belongings and rode away on an elephant as crowds chased him. Citizens demand explanations for the June 1 killings that killed 10 royals and left many skeptical of witness accounts. A Maoist leader accused the new king Gyanendra of being behind the massacre as Nepal’s king remains a largely ceremonial figure.
