Episode 155: Aita Gurung

True Crime New England

Join Katie and Liz this week on True Crime New England as they discuss a case involving a man who was severely mentally ill. Aita Gurung, an immigrant from Nepal, had just come home from a voluntary stay at the University of Vermont Medical Center, when he got upset with his 32-year-old wife, Yogeswari Khadka. Acting out, he took a meat cleaver and killed her, as well as severely injuring his mother-in-law in the process. When facing the court, the question of sanity was brought forth many times, and the result of the trial may surprise you.
