Salyan sees surge in violent crimes against family members

Despite consolidated efforts by the authorities, controlling domestic violence and violent crimes has become a challenge in the Karnali district.

On December 8, 45-year-old Dammar Sarki killed his 40-year-old wife at their home in Uchalne in ward 3 of Siddha Kumakh Rural Municipality. It was nighttime when an argument broke out between the husband and wife. Sarki, in a fit of rage and under the influence of alcohol, attacked his wife with an axe. She did not survive the fatal attack.
