Dipendra of Nepal
His Majesty King Dipendra Bir Bikram Shah Dev of Nepal (June 27, 1971 – June 4, 2001) was the reigning monarch of Nepal from June 1 to June 4 2001. Educated at England's exclusive Eton College, the intelligent and well-liked prince was thought to have a good future ahead of him, until he suddenly slaughtered his family at a royal dinner on June 1 2001. Dipendra was also fatally shot, either by his own hand or at the hands of the palace guard. ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~

~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ His motivation was reportedly anger over a dispute about his marriage plans. Dipendra's choice for marriage was Devyani Rana, a member of the royal family of Gwalior. Unfortunately, Devyani also was a member of the Rana clan, whose scions had served as the hereditary prime ministers of Nepal during the previous dynasty, with the title Maharaja. There was historical animosity between the Rana clan and the Shah family of kings but there was also a long history of inter-marriage between the two Kshatriya caste groups.
