Demanding severe punishment to the killer of late Khyati Shrestha, students and teachers took out a rally in the capital on Thursday.
Bereaved parents and family members of the murdered college students also took part in the rally.
Student groups took out rallies from different colleges and educational institutions of Kathmandu including Padma Kanya, the biggest women's college in the country, and gathered at Jubilant College and Research Center at Kalimati where Khyati used to study in grade 12.
From there the rally went to Sundhara and Ratnapark area before turning into a corner assembly after reaching Metropolitan Police headquarters at Hanumandhoka.
There the participants of the rally demanded severe punishment to those involved in abduction and subsequent murder of the 19-year old college girl.
Khyati's dismembered body parts were found 16 days after her abduction on June 5.
The main accused Biren Shrestha and his teenage accomplice Merina Shakya have already been arrested and have confessed to their crimes.
Meanwhile, reports say police have now started investigating the possible involvement of the main accused Shrestha in similar crimes in the past.
"We believe that the latest killing must not be the first crime of this nature he has committed," Superintendent of Police Nawa Raj Silwal told Republica Daily Wednesday. "We have now begun investigating whether there is a link with unsolved cases of a similar nature in the past."
He said the way body parts have been cut off and disposed of in cartons at different locations matches exactly with cases the police have across in the past.
