TO GO WITH Nepal-royal-massacre-anniversary,FOCUS by Deepak Adhikari (FILES) In this photograph taken on June 4, 2001, Nepalese policemen salute the burning pyre of Nepal's late King Dipendra during his cremation on the banks of the holy river Bagmati in Kathmandu. A decade after Nepal's crown prince stunned the world by gunning down nine family members, mystery still surrounds the massacre that plunged the monarchy into a crisis from which it never recovered.
