ICC Note:
On October 20, a Christian man belonging to a Believers Church in Nepal was murdered by a man that claimed he needed his prayer for healing. In the early morning hours of October 20, Debalal was called to the home of Kumar Sardar for prayer. According to Kumar, he was experiencing pain and needed prayer. Debalal was reluctant to go, due to the hour and the fact that Kumar was known to be a strict adherent to Hinduism. Eventually Debalal decided to go and pray for Kumar. Unfortunately, this was a trap set up by Kumar who murdered Debalal while he was praying at his home.
11/1/2013 Nepal (Canada Free Press) – An elder of the Believers Church in Nepal was tragically killed in the early morning hours of October 20th while praying for someone who was supposedly quite ill. At 3 a.m., 36-year-old Debalal was called to the home of Kumar Sardar who urgently requested prayer, stating that he was experiencing pain. At first, Debalal was reluctant to visit the man’s home due to the late hour and also because Kumar and his family were known to be devout Hindus.
During the prayer time, Kumar left the room, returning with an iron rod and a sharp, curved knife called a khukuri. He then began beating Debalal severely with the iron rod prior to slitting the unsuspecting believer’s throat. None of the neighbours, who should have heard the attack taking place, intervened. While Kumar is presently in police custody, Debalal’s distraught wife and sons are now experiencing tremendous grief over the vicious act of violence that was perpetrated against their loved one.
