What really happened on Jestha 19, part VIII

 This is turning into an anthology more than I thought. The idea is to come up with 20-30 most ridiculous ideas and write mock research essays. They need to be more fleshed out than what I did for the last one, but that's going to come as things evolve. I'm just having fun here, nothing to see. Continued from here.

...Additionally, the use of modern up-to-date techniques will encourage other parties, governmental and non-governmental to do the same, thereby elevating the minimum technical standards used in such cases...

Alright, tell us your theory.

Sir to the point I think, it was not Prince Paras who did this at all. However we should not also doubt the evidence provided by all the individuals there including the members of the Royal family and the royal guards. So when you think that it wasn't Crown Prince Dipendra but everyone saw the likeness of him committing those great crimes, how can you reconcile the two contradictory facts? By considering the possibility that there was a duplicate of him at least one around who was doing it.

Lets take a step back. Why does your theory assume that Dipendra didn't commit the crime. What evidence or suggestions are there for that to be true?

I find it difficult to believe sir that the crown prince who would soon have become the King, who had such good reputation among the commoners would be able to do that. Even if he had consumed a lot of alcohol and the black product that according to the original investigation, these things can only bring out what is already inside a person, it doesn't turn a human being into a monster. Additionally, if you have tried walking straight or doing anything, you will realize that when one is not sober it is exceedingly hard to walk straight, let alone carry a very heavy weapon, point it at your nearest and dearest ones and shoot, while they shriek in agony, beg for mercy and try to run away from you. Some people must surely have come ahead and tried to stop him too, some must have tried attacking too. So sir think of yourself in your most drunk situation, imagine you are carrying something that is 5 kilos in one hand and then it's pushing back because of the recoil. Now think of people running away and throwing things at you. It would be a difficult time to just stand up, let alone target and hit something. Finally, some have suggested that he was shooting just randomly and because there were so many bullets it had to hit someone. But if you think about it sir even that is not possible, from the distances we talk about, if you use a mathematical calculation, it would be unlikely that random firing would have gotten to them. While they were running. Too many things don't add up. And there were so many young folks in the crowd too, even if you discount the King and the Queen. And surely they must have heard the loud noise, why did not anyone reach out for their army members or ADC's? No, it doesn't make any sense. It wasn't a drunk and intoxicated man firing, the person firing must have been well trained and in the best abilities of his skills. However Crown Prince Dipendra must have been drunk and intoxicated if the medical reports suggest so. Therefore there was somebody else who looked like him who was doing these things.

Can you tell us about the motivations or potential identities of this person or persons? How would they manage to look like Dipendra?

I believe they used masks, similar clothing and wigs, selected men with his general height and build, it was not uncommon. They must have found out what he wore generally through various sources, in the Army or the Royal offices, such information is not too hard to come by. So they give good training to a couple of men, dressed them up to look like the Crown Prince in fatigue and Army boots, and send them in.
There I have one doubt. I could also believe that at least one or more source inside the palace is in cahoots with the guilty party, and somehow encouraged the Crown Prince to wear Combat dress and Army boots so their work would be easier. If he for example wore an expensive foreign suit, they wouldn't be able to copy it and it would be suspicious. With the similar clothing, they could make their way inside the innermost chambers, bypass the guards, and openly fire at the royal family members without the fear of being identified. Also sir you have to remember the masks don't have to be perfect, the royal family was all very drunk that night, they wouldn't have paid too close attention to the faces. As long as somebody had the general facial features of the Crown Prince, they wouldn't have had too hard of a time hiding their identity. Additionally, even if they were seen, the witness would be meant to die anyway if they saw him face-front, so it was only the onlookers from faraway that would be of any concern.
