So, I mentioned this story about the king of Nepal getting killed by his son, as well as eight other members of the royal family. And then apparently, the prince turned the gun on himself. That was the story. However, new developments! Turns out the murderous prince lives after all, and so has been made the king. Furthermore, he refuses to take responsibility for the slaughter, saying that it wasn't him who wielded the gun, and that the gun used to commit the crimes was an automatic rifle that went off by accident. Must have been one hell of an accident to kill eight people while they were having dinner. Sheesh.
Can you picture the scene? Dad (the king) and his family are seated around a cozy dining room table, munching on some broccoli. Sister (the princess) says "please pass the butter". Brother (the crown prince and alleged killer) reaches over to the butter. In doing so, however, he unfortunately touches off the machine gun sitting next to the tofu. The machine gun spontaneously goes off, reeling off fifty bullets in less than three seconds. The recoil of the machine gun means that bullets fly all over the place. At the end of the day, eight of the royal family are dead.
Sure.
