An eyewitness to the massacre of Nepal’s royals described today the 90secs of horror when the drunken crown prince gunned down his family.

Police in Nepal have shot and wounded 14 curfew breakers as the Himalayan kingdom still attempts to come to terms with the royal massacre.

Nepal's Crown Prince Dipendra has been named king while on life support, and his uncle Prince Gyanendra is acting king.

Nepal's crown prince has opened fire in the royal palace, killing the king, queen, a prince and princess, and four others before shooting himself.
